Range limits and parasite prevalence in a freshwater snail [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Geographical range limits are thought to be set by species' physiological or ecological adaptation to abiotic factors, but the importance of biotic factors such as parasitism in determining range limits has not been well explored. In this study the prevalence of trematode parasitism in populations of a freshwater gastropod snail, Lymnaea stagnalis ...
