Ecological data on marine mammal parasites represent an excellent opportunity to expand our understanding of host-parasite systems. In this study, we used a dataset of intestinal helminth parasites on 167 long-finned pilot whales Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809) from seven localities in the Faroe Islands to evaluate the extent to which the host's age ...

Richness, nestedness, and randomness in parasite infracommunity structure
Oecologia, 1996Within a host population, parasite infracommunities vary in both richness and species composition. If interspecific interactions among parasites are important in shaping infracommunities, the structure of these assemblages is expected to differ from the one predicted by null models, i.e. from the one that would result from chance alone. Using data from

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2016
Abstract Parasites were harvested from lungs and gastrointestinal tracts of Alligator mississippiensis from Texas. We compared our results with previous parasitism findings from alligators harvested in 2011 in Louisiana and Florida. Florida alligators exhibited the greatest pentastomid prevalence and mean intensity and illustrated higher stomach ...

This study describes the community of all metazoan parasites from 14 individuals of thicklip wrasse, Hemigymnus melapterus, from Lizard Island, Australia. All fish were parasitized, and 4,649 parasite individuals were found. Twenty-six parasite species were identified although only 6 species were abundant and prevalent: gnathiid isopods, the copepod ...

American Midland Naturalist, 1987
Four species assemblages of desmognathine salamanders are sympatric in and along many mountain streams of the southern Appalachians. The species, Leurognathus marmorata, Desmognathus quadramaculatus, D. monticola and D. ochrophaeus, span an aquatic to terrestrial habitat continuum ranging from totally aquatic (L. marmorata) to primarily terrestrial (D.

Journal of Helminthology, 2004
AbstractAn analysis was undertaken of intestinal helminth communities in flounder Platichthys flesus from two sites on the River Thames. A comparison was made between helminth community richness and diversity from these sites at the component and infracommunity levels.

Journal of Fish Biology, 2004
The use of parasites as biological tags allowed the identification of three stocks of Argentine hake Merluccius hubbsi in the south‐west Atlantic. A total of 344 fish caught in the Argentine‐Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone, San Matías Gulf, San Jorge Gulf and Patagonian Shelf, were examined for parasites and 26 species were found.

Studies involving parasitism between ectoparasitic flies and bats are scarce for urban environments, which makes it difficult to find association patterns in these altered environments. Herein, we describe the bat flies community, and estimate the prevalence, mean intensity of infestation, infracommunities, and specificity of bat fliesassociations in ...

Fisheries Research, 2005
The accuracy of classifying bogue (Boops boops) according to the fishery from which it was harvested was evaluated by applying several statistical classification techniques to fish parasite abundances. Bogue captured in 2001 in two fisheries off the Atlantic coast of Spain were compared with one off the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
