Ecological and phylogenetic components of flatfish ectoparasites (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae) from the Southern Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFor many years, parasite ecologists have debated the relative importance of phylogeny and ecology as drivers of parasite community structure. Here, we address this issue using data on the metazoan ectoparasite communities of different flatfish species ...

Parasite infracommunities of Leporinus friderici: A comparison of three tributaries of the Jurumirim Reservoir in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2017 The degradation and homogenization of natural habitats is considered a major cause of biotic homogenization. Many studies have been undertaken on the effects of dams on aquatic wildlife, in particular fish assemblages.

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 ...

Factors at multiple scales drive parasite community structure. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2023 Beta‐diversity and nestedness may vary with ecological scale, which can reveal important drivers of community assembly and structure. Using parasite communities, the authors demonstrate that failing to account for patterns at one level alters the interpretation of ecological drivers at another.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep-sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Temporal stability of polymorphic Arctic charr parasite communities reflects sustained divergent trophic niches. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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.

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 ...
