Linking ecology with parasite diversity in Neotropical fishes
A comparative analysis was performed to seek large-scale patterns in the relationships between a set of fish species traits (body size, type of environment, trophic level, schooling behaviour, depth range, mean habitat temperature, geographical range, ability to enter brackish waters and capability of migration) and the diversity of their metazoan parasite assemblages among 651 Neotropical fish...
متن کاملEcology: Linking Species Diversity and Genetic Diversity
Although there is a great deal of interest in the biological diversity of species and of genes, it is only recently that researchers have begun to investigate the processes that exert parallel influences on these different levels of diversity.
متن کاملAmazonian ecology: tributaries enhance the diversity of electric fishes.
Neotropical rivers support a diverse array of endemic taxa, including electric fishes of the order Gymnotiformes. A comprehensive survey of the main channels of the Amazon River and its major tributaries (>2000-kilometer transect) yielded 43 electric fish species. Biogeographical analyses suggest that local mainstem electric fish diversity is enhanced by tributaries. Mainstem species richness t...
متن کاملMetazoan parasite species richness in Neotropical fishes: hotspots and the geography of biodiversity.
Although research on parasite biodiversity has intensified recently, there are signs that parasites remain an underestimated component of total biodiversity in many regions of the planet. To identify geographical hotspots of parasite diversity, we performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of the parasite-host associations in fishes from Latin America and the Caribbean, a region that inclu...
متن کاملNetwork analysis shining light on parasite ecology and diversity.
The vast number of species making up natural communities, and the myriad interactions among them, pose great difficulties for the study of community structure, dynamics and stability. Borrowed from other fields, network analysis is making great inroads in community ecology and is only now being applied to host-parasite interactions. It allows a complex system to be examined in its entirety, as ...
