Metazoan Parasite Infracommunities in Five Sciaenids from the Central Peruvian Coast [PDF]

Memorias Do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
Parasitological analysis of 237 Menticirrhus ophicephalus, 124 Paralonchurus peruanus, 249 Sciaena deliciosa, 50 Sciaena fasciata and 308 Stellifer minor from Callao (Perú) yielded 37 species of metazoan parasites (14 Monogenea, 11 Copepoda, 4 Nematoda ...

Nestedness and beta diversity of gastrointestinal helminth communities in common warthogs, Phacochoerus africanus (Suidae), at 2 localities in South Africa [PDF]

Parasitology, 2023
Few studies have investigated the ecological interactions between wild species of Suidae and their parasites, leaving our knowledge concerning this host–parasite system fragmented.

Helminth Communities of Common Fish Species in the Coastal Zone off Crimea: Species Composition, Diversity, and Structure [PDF]

Biology, 2023
In this paper, we analyzed the diversity and structure of helminth communities of 12 common fish species from the coastal zone of Crimea. A total of 53 helminth species were found.

Factors at multiple scales drive parasite community structure. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol, 2023
Beta‐diversity and nestedness may vary with ecological scale, which can reveal important drivers of community assembly and structure. Using parasite communities, the authors demonstrate that failing to account for patterns at one level alters the interpretation of ecological drivers at another.

Temporal stability of polymorphic Arctic charr parasite communities reflects sustained divergent trophic niches. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Our study showed that anthropogenic modification of the fish community can result in changes to the parasite fauna in the system, with the establishment of new species and varying levels of infection of native parasites over time. However, our model hosts were able to maintain their trimorphic population despite changes in the fish community.

Ecto- and endoparasites of common reedbuck, Redunca arundinum, at 2 localities in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa: community and network structure [PDF]

Parasitology
Parasite community structure is governed by functional traits of hosts and parasites. Notably, parasite populations and communities respond to host social and spatial behaviour.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep-sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Congruence between co-occurrence and trait-based networks is scale-dependent: a case study with flea parasites of small mammalian hosts [PDF]

Parasitology
We applied a novel framework based on network theory and a concept of modularity that estimates congruence between trait-based ( = functional) co-occurrence networks, thus allowing the inference of co-occurrence patterns and the determination of the ...

The helminth infracommunities of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) two years after the fire in Mediterranean forests [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2013
Abstract Parasites have been recognized as indicators for natural or man-induced environmental stress and perturbation. In this article, we investigated the role of two non-exclusive hypotheses on the response of helminths of wood mice to fire perturbation: 1) a reduction of the helminth infracommunity (species richness) in post-fire ...
