Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2009 Se comparan las infracomunidades de parásitos de dos especies congenéricas y simpátridas de peces marinos: Scartichthys viridis (Valenciennes 1836) y Scartichthys gigas (Steindachner 1876) (Pisces: Blenniidae), en tres localidades del intermareal rocoso ...

Compositional turnover in ecto- and endoparasite assemblages of an African bat, Miniopterus natalensis (Chiroptera, Miniopteridae): effects of hierarchical scale and host sex. [PDF]
Parasitology, 2020 We studied the compositional turnover in infracommunities and component communities of ecto- and endoparasites infesting a bat, Miniopterus natalensis (Chiroptera, Miniopteridae), across seven sampling sites using the zeta diversity metric (measuring ...

Evidence for interspecific interactions in the ectoparasite infracommunity of a wild mammal [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Co-infection with multiple parasite species is commonly observed in nature and interspecific interactions are likely to occur in parasite infracommunities. Such interactions may affect the distribution of parasites among hosts but also the response of infracommunities to perturbations.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 While parasites are ubiquitous across ecosystems, their effects on host energy flow (and thus broader ecological implications) are difficult to quantify and generalize across species. In this study, we estimated host–parasite energy flux to build upon fundamental ecological theory and develop capacity for utilizing this common‐currency approach across ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Foundation species like the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) create complex habitats for organisms across multiple trophic levels. Historic declines in oyster abundance have prompted decades of restoration efforts. However, it remains unclear how long it takes for restored reefs to resemble the trophic complexity of natural reefs.

Within‐host and external environments differentially shape β‐diversity across parasite life stages
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 665-676, March 2023., 2023 The results of this study provide key data for the comparison of community‐level processes where adult and immature stages inhabit vastly different habitats, whether this be parasites (e.g. adult and larval nematodes) or free‐living organisms (e.g. adult and larval amphibians).

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Testing hypotheses in ecological and evolutionary parasitology can require testing whether host traits or coinfecting parasites explain variation in parasitism by focal species. However, when host traits and coinfecting parasites are considered separately, relations between either and parasitism by focal species can be spurious—a problem that ...

Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 762-788, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Anguillid eels are found globally in fresh, transitional and saline waters and have played an important role in human life for centuries. The population status of several species is now of significant concern. The threats to populations include direct exploitation at different life stages, blockages to migratory routes by dams and other ...

, 2021 We analyzed the distribution and ecological relationships in the parasitic infracommunities of four species of the genus Hypostomus: Hypostomus regani, Hypostomus strigaticeps, Hypostomus hermanni, and Hypostomus ancistroides, collected in the Batalha ...
