Parasite‐Mediated Competition Limits Dominant Cervid Competitor

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
We leveraged 2 years of detection/non‐detection data of moose (Alces alces) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and parasite loads in faecal samples within a hierarchical abundance‐mediated interaction model to test hypotheses regarding interactions between these cervids and their shared parasites (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, Fascioloides ...

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
• Clinostomum complanatum metacercariae, which has been reported in 23 fish species worldwide and 12 in Türkiye to date, continues to infect local and endemic fish species and will persist in the future. • Considering that Alburnus escherichii and other fish species in which this parasite has been recorded in Türkiye are used in traditional local ...

Aggregation and negative interactions in low-diversity and unsaturated monogenean (Platyhelminthes) communities in Astyanax aeneus (Teleostei) populations in a neotropical river of Mexico

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
We studied monogenean communities of 11 populations of Astyanax aeneus (Günther) separated by small geographical distances along 60 km of the Lacantún river in Chiapas, Mexico, in February and August 2012. We found 12 monogenean taxa. Amongst these, five

Host space, not energy or symbiont size, constrains feather mite abundance across passerine bird species

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 4, Page 393-405, April 2024.
Why some host species hold larger symbiont abundances than others is an open question in ecology. Comparison of the empirical scaling of feather mite abundance with predictions from the metabolic theory of ecology showed that space (number of feather barbs of bird species), and not energy, was the main constraint to feather mite infracommunities ...
