The role of small‐scale environmental gradients on trematode infection

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1453-1461, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasitism rates can vary dramatically across large and small spatial scales. Such heterogeneity in infection is driven by variation in environmental factors that influence the probability of host and parasite encountering each other (encounter filters) and of genetic and physiological factors that alter whether that encounter results in a ...

Unravelling another mystery: Parasite escape and host‐switching vary spatially in non‐indigenous populations of Japanese mystery snails

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1316-1332, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Due to anthropogenic mechanisms, global freshwater biodiversity is declining, and non‐indigenous species are consistently cited as a major threat to native ecosystems. In particular, exotic freshwater gastropods and their parasites have invaded ecosystems through deliberate introductions and/or accidental transfer.

A fine‐scale phylogenetic assessment of digenean trematodes in central Alberta reveals we have yet to uncover their total diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 3153-3238, March 2019., 2019
This manuscript represents a large, single, collective examination of larval trematodes from snail hosts, using molecular markers and phylogenetic methods. We contribute 1,091 mitochondrial sequences (cox1 and nad1) that represent 79 species from 23 genera and eight families.
