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).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 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.

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 ...

Structure of the metazoan parasite communities of haemulid fish (Actinopterygii: Perciformes) in the South Atlantic Ocean: a comparative approach [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Haemulidae represents one of the most diverse, widespread and conspicuous families of Perciformes, in which most species are marine, some brackish and rarely from freshwater. From April 2009 to July 2012, 120 specimens of Conodon nobilis, 60 Orthopristis

Helminth metacommunity of small mammals in a Brazilian reserve: the contribution of environmental variables, host attributes and spatial variables in parasite species abundance [PDF]
, 2020 The role of environmental factors and landscape heterogeneity on species distribution on different spatial scales is one of the most important questions in community ecology. Variations in the environmental gradient characteristics, host attributes and

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii. [PDF]
Vet Med Sci• 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 ...

Infracommunity dynamics of chiggers (Trombiculidae) parasitic on a rodent
Parasitology, 2015 SUMMARYWe studied the structure of chigger mite (Trombiculidae) communities parasitic on a South African rodent, Rhabdomys pumilio. We aimed to determine whether: (a) different chigger species differ in preferences for certain body areas of a host and (b) chigger assemblages among body areas of the same host individual, are structured and if so ...
