The Monogenean Parasite Fauna of Cichlids: A Potential Tool for Host Biogeography
We discuss geographical distribution and phylogeny of Dactylogyridea (Monogenea) parasitizing Cichlidae to elucidate their hosts' history. Although mesoparasitic Monogenea (Enterogyrus spp.) show typical vicariant distribution, ectoparasitic representatives from different continents are not considered sister taxa, hence their distribution cannot result from vicariance alone. Because of the clos...
متن کاملGeography and host biogeography matter for understanding the phylogeography of a parasite.
The co-evolution between hosts and parasites has long been recognized as a fundamental driver of macro-evolutionary patterns of diversification. The effect of co-differentiation on parasite diversification is, however, often confounded by underlying geographic patterns of host distribution. In order to disentangle the confounding effects of allopatric versus host speciation, the mitochondrial c...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Gill monogeneans of ‘Gnathochromis’ and Limnochromis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) in Burundi: do the parasites mirror host ecology and phylogenetic history?
Monogenea is one of the most species-rich groups of parasitic flatworms. Research on this taxon in Africa has been recently intensified. For example, already more than 100 nominal species belong to Cichlidogyrus, a genus mostly occurring on cichlids. Twenty-two of these were described from Lake Tanganyika which is a biodiversity hotspot in which many vertebrate and invertebrate taxa underwent u...
