Habitat isolation and disturbance are important regulators of biodiversity, yet it remains
unclear how these environmental features drive differences in parasite diversity between …

For 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 …

 Abstract Specimens of a caligid copepod (Siphonostomatoida) were found on the gills of the
hairfin lookdown Selenebrevoortii (Gill)(Carangidae) from off Mazatlán, Sinaloa (north …

Parasite communities in Caranx sexfasciatus were characterized and analyzed to determine
any interannual variations in structure and/or species composition. In total, 422 C …

Ubiquitous and abundant within marine ecosystems, parasites play essential ecological
roles such as shaping host population dynamics, altering competition between species, and …

Metazoan parasite communities can experience temporal structural changes related to
seasonal and/or local variations in several biotic and abiotic environmental factors …

Fish–parasite systems could be subject to two scenarios under climate change:(i) increased
water temperature might enhance parasite metabolism, allowing the parasite to spread …
