Seasonal variation of gastro-intestinal helminths of three bat species in the dry forest of western Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2017
Studies on helminths of chiropterans are relatively uncommon compared to those of other animals, and seasonal changes in helminth load have been rarely examined.

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 ...

The metazoan parasite communities of the shoal flounder (Syacium gunteri) as bioindicators of chemical contamination in the southern Gulf of Mexico

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Because agriculture and offshore oil extraction are significant economic activities in the southern Gulf of Mexico, high concentrations of nutrients and hydrocarbons are expected. As parasite communities are sensitive to environmental impacts,

CONDITION FACTOR AND ECOLOGY OF ENDOHELMINTHS IN Metynnis lippincottianus FROM THE CURIAí­Å¡ RIVER, IN EASTERN AMAZON (BRAZIL)

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2020
Fish are among the vertebrate groups most susceptible to parasitic infections due to environmental characteristics that can favor the development of parasites; also, position of the host in food web has been associated with the parasitism.

Determinants of parasite diversity and community structure in waterbirds [PDF]

, 2021
The study of factors that underlie parasite fauna has received increased research attention in the last decade. The host and parasite have often co-evolved over a long time, which helps explain patterns of parasite community diversity within a similar ...
