Ecological implications of floods on the parasite communities of two freshwater catfishes in a Neotropical floodplain
(2017-06-01)
The parasite communities of two freshwater catfishes (Auchenipterus osteomystax and Trachelyopterus galeatus) were analyzed during the dry and rainy seasons in a Neotropical floodplain. The nature of river-floodplain systems ...
Prevalence of parasitism and adult survival time of Aedes albifasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae), parasitized by Strelkovimermis spiculatus (Nematoda: Mermithidae)
(Soc Vector Ecology, 2015-12)
We described the carryover of Strelkovimermis spiculatus (Poinar and Camino) (Nematoda: Mermithidae) from mosquito larvae, the primary site of maturation, to adults. We analyzed the survival time of male and female Aedes ...
Diversity of parasites in Curimata incompta (Curimatidae), a host from Amazon river system in Brazil.
(Journal of Parasitic Diseases, v. 40, n. 4, p. 1296-1300, Dec. 2016., 2016)
Seasonality of parasitic and saprotrophic zoosporic fungi: linking sequence data to ecological traits
(2022-06-28)
Zoosporic fungi of the phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids) regularly dominate pelagic fungal communities in freshwater and marine environments. Their lifestyles range from obligate parasites to saprophytes. Yet, linking the ...
Ecology and parasitism of the lizard Tropidurus jaguaribanus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) from northeastern Brazil
(2018-01-01)
Specimens of Tropidurus jaguaribanus were collected as part of a study of their use of microhabitats, activity period, body temperature, diet, foraging, sexual dimorphism (in size and in form), reproductive biology, and ...
How many parasites species a frog might have? determinants of parasite diversity in South American anurans
(Public Library Science, 2015)
There is an increasing interest in unveiling the dynamics of parasite infection. Understanding the interaction patterns, and determinants of host-parasite association contributes to filling knowledge gaps in both community ...
How does host ecology influence sampling effort in parasite diversity estimates? A case study using Neotropical freshwater fishes
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2017-06-01)
Accurately estimating biodiversity is fundamental to ecological understanding and prediction. Helminthes are often neglected in biodiversity estimates and when included are often underestimated. Here we examine how sampling ...
Parasite communities in three sympatric flounder species (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae): Similar ecological filters driving toward repeatable assemblages
(Springer, 2012-06)
The relative role of host phylogeny and ecology on parasite community structure is analyzed in three sympatric paralichthyids from Argentine waters: the carcinophagous Xystreurys rasile and the piscivorous Paralichthys ...
