Digenetic trematodes of the Chesapeake Bay

Some digenetic trematodes from synaphobranchid eels.

Four trematodes, all new host records, were found in synaphobranchid eels from the continental slopes in the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. Hypertrema ambovatum Manter, 1960 (Fellodistomidae), previously known only from near New Zealand, is reported from Synaphobranchus oregoni, including data in addition to the original description; Pseudopecoelus vulgaris (Manter, 1934) (Opecoelid...

Parasitism and invasive species: effects of digenetic trematodes on mussels

The brown mussel Perna perna in South Africa is threatened by the introduction of the invasive Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprov~ncialis. Whilst the indigenous P. perna has been found to be commonly infected by digenetic trematodes, the invasive M galloprovincial~s is free of trematodes, which mav give it a competitive advantage in direct or indirect interactions between the 2 mussels. The...

Interactive Chesapeake Bay Simulation

Scientists use sophisticated numerical models to study ocean circulation and other physical systems, but the complex nature of such simulation software generally make them inaccessible to non-expert users. In principle, however, numerical models represent an ideal teaching tool, allowing users to model the response of a complex system to changing conditions. We have designed an interactive simu...
