Trophic behavior and parasite communities in kelp gulls from the northern Patagonian coast, Argentina [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Parasites are important components of biodiversity and play multiple roles in natural systems. In aquatic birds, endoparasites are acquired mainly through the diet; thus, the environment is the main determinant of the parasitic community.
