Divvying up the pie: Tissue nutrient content is related to its parasite load. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how the size and composition of parasitic infracommunities are affected by the nutrient content of their infection sites. We expected infracommunities to be dominated by parasites that were stoichiometrically similar to their infection sites. However, we found that parasites, themselves, can vary in nutrient content and that the size of

Parasitology Research, 2014 We studied the effect of host gender and body mass on species richness of flea infracommunities in nine rodent host species from three biomes (temperate zone of central Europe, desert of the Middle East and the tropics of East Africa). Using season- and species-specific generalized linear mixed models and controlling for year-to-year variation, spatial

Interannual variation in the metazoan parasite communities of bigeye trevally Caranx sexfasciatus (Pisces, Carangidae) [PDF]
Parasite, 2020 Parasite communities in Caranx sexfasciatus were characterized and analyzed to determine any interannual variations in structure and/or species composition. In total, 422 C.

Parasite infracommunities of Leporinus friderici: A comparison of three tributaries of the Jurumirim Reservoir in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2017 The degradation and homogenization of natural habitats is considered a major cause of biotic homogenization. Many studies have been undertaken on the effects of dams on aquatic wildlife, in particular fish assemblages.

Geographical Patterns of Parasite Infracommunities in the Rough Scad, Trachurus lathami Nichols, in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2012 We assessed temporal variability in parasite infections of rough scad (Trachurus lathami) in 3 samples from Miramar (MI) in 2008, separated by periods of 1 mo, and 2 samples from Villa Gesell (VG), 1 each in 2008 and 2009 (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina), respectively.

STREBLID BAT FLIES ON PHYLLOSTOMID BATS FROM AN ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2017 Streblidae is the family of bloodsucking flies, mostly tropical and subtropical, that are obligate ectoparasites of bats. A high number of these fly species are found in the Atlantic Forest, but there is little information about their quantitative ...

Influence of host sex and age on infracommunities of metazoan parasites of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) (Prochilodontidae) of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, Brazil [PDF]
Parasite, 2005 149 specimens of Prochilodus lineatus were collected on the upper Paraná River floodplain. Of these, 121 (82.1 %) were parasitized. 33 species of metazoan parasites were recorded.
