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 ...

Scanning electron microscopic observations on the tegumental surfaces of two rumen flukes (Trematoda: Paramphistomata) [PDF]

Journal of Helminthology, 1982
ABSTRACTThe surface microtopography ofCalicophoron papillosum(Stiles & Goldberger) andC. calicophorum(Fischoeder), inhabiting the rumen of sheep, has been studied by SEM. InC. papillosum, conspicuous transverse ridges encircle the mid-body, gradually lessening dorsally towards the posterior end.
