It is entertained herein that the inclusion of such developments will help clarify to a certain extent how the deep phylogeny of a monophyletic clade of freshwater nematode parasites is related to phenomena that have not been previously considered, but are closely related to their historical biogeography. The second aim is to interpret these results across a wide spectrum of natural history data within a phylogenetic and historical biogeographical framework, including: speciation, comparison of modern distributions of hosts and parasites with fossil distribution of marine and freshwater fishes, their diversification intervals, sequential heterochrony, the spatial scale at which the phylogeny takes place, and phylogeography.
