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 ...

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.

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 ...

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2023 Piscivorous Salminus brasiliensis and herbivorous/omnivorous Brycon orbignyanus often form mixed schools in the same habitats. The aims of this study were: (a) to analyze and compare ecto- and endoparasite communities in juvenile S.

Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in helminth infracommunities of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in St. Katherine’s Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt [PDF]
, 2018 The importance of parasites as a selective force in host evolution is a topic of current interest. However, short-term ecological studies of host-parasite systems, on which such studies are usually based, provide only snap-shots of what may be dynamic ...

Helminthologia, 2017 We provide the first known comparative assessment of metazoan parasite communities in two taxonomically and ecologically related sparids, Boops boops and Spicara maena, that are common in the coastal infralittoral habitats in the Mediterranean.

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 ...

, 2004 Seventeen parasite species were recovered from perch in four small Canadian Shield lakes with different fish species compositions. Parasite species such as Urocleidus adspectus Mullier, 1936, Bunodera sacculata Van Cleave and Muller, 1932, and ...

Low Similarity Between Parasite Communities of Ten Sympatric Carangid Species [PDF]
Host phylogeny and ecological convergence are two factors thought to influence the structure of parasite communities. The aims of this study were to determine the diversity of metazoan parasites of 10 sympatric fish species of the family Carangidae from ...
