Nine species occurred in both gull hosts; the remaining six were recorded from only black-backed gulls. New genetic data were generated for 12 species, including all new species, enabling confirmation of species identities and links to larval stages in intermediate hosts, thereby resolving or advancing knowledge of several life cycles. Several parasites represent new host or geographic records, including the first named species of\n                    <jats:italic>Diplostomum<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Gigantobilharzia<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Levinseniella<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Gymnophalloides, Microphallus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Mesorchis<\/jats:italic>\n                    reported from New Zealand. Parasite burdens were generally low, but species richness was high, underscoring gulls as important definitive hosts supporting substantial hidden biodiversity. This study provides the first comprehensive baseline survey of trematode communities in New Zealand gulls and highlights that parasite diversity remains underestimated even in comparatively well-studied hosts. These findings reinforce the importance of incorporating parasites into biodiversity inventories and conservation frameworks.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x26102028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T08:22:02Z","timestamp":1786350122000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["High diversity of trematode parasites infecting New Zealand gulls, Larus dominicanus, and Chroicocephalus scopulinus: Six new species (Echinostomatoidea, Microphallidae, and Gymnophallidae) and new life cycle associations"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"100","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0950-7767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.","family":"Presswell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01jmxt844","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Otago"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1037-894X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.","family":"Bennett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01jmxt844","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Otago"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r24","first-page":"24","article-title":"Eye fluke (Philophthalmus attenuatus) infection in a juvenile red-billed gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae scopulinus)","volume":"30","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Kokako"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r55","first-page":"9","volume-title":"Keys to the Trematoda","volume":"2","author":"Kostadinova","year":"2005"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r66","first-page":"303","article-title":"Revision of the species Ornithobilharzia canaliculata (Rudolphi, 1819) (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae)","volume":"4","author":"Macko","year":"1963","journal-title":"Helminthologia"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rsos.160535"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r71","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/9780851995472.0231"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r89","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-022-07552-1"},{"key":"S0022149X26102028_r19","first-page":"1","article-title":"Fascioliden der V\u00f6gel","volume":"16","author":"Braun","year":"1902","journal-title":"Zoologische Jahrb\u00fccher.
