Host–Parasite Interaction Networks of Helminths of Sigmodontine Rodents in Two Different Areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Two helminth‐rodent networks were analyzed for two distinct areas. Network modularity, nestedness, and degree of specialization were calculated for each network. Higher network modularity than nestedness and high network specialization were observed in both networks, suggesting functional and/or taxonomic specialization between helminth species and ...
