Geographic variation in the determinants of ectoparasite faunas’ species richness: fleas and gamasid mites parasitic on small mammals from 6 biogeographic realms [PDF]
ParasitologyWe investigated the effects of body mass, geographic range size, the within-range richness of host assemblages (diversity field) and the habitat breadth of small mammalian hosts from 6 biogeographic realms on the species richness of their flea and ...

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...

Sex-Specific Differences in Shoaling Affect Parasite Transmission in Guppies [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Individuals have to trade-off the costs and benefits of group membership during shoaling behaviour. Shoaling can increase the risk of parasite transmission, but this cost has rarely been quantified experimentally. Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
