The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as a marine biodiversity hotspot. This enclosed basin
is facing several anthropogenic-driven threats, such as seawater warming, pollution …

Migratory animals can bring parasites into resident animal (ie, non-migratory) home ranges
(transport effects) and exert trophic effects that either promote or reduce parasite exposure to …

Amongst other factors, topographic features can influence the genetic variability among
populations of marine organisms. This applies to host species but also to their parasites …

A core goal of ecology is to understand the abiotic and biotic variables that regulate species
distributions and community composition. A major obstacle is that the rules governing …

Many metacommunities are distributed across habitat patches that are themselves
aggregated into groups. Perhaps the clearest example of this nested metacommunity …

Descriptions of ecological networks typically assume that the same interspecific interactions
occur each time a community is observed. This contrasts with the known stochasticity of …

An understanding of the mechanisms that determine host and parasite relationships is a
central aim in parasitology. Association of a parasite species with a host species may be …

Fish parasite communities can be directly influenced by characteristics of host species.
However, little is known about the host-parasite relationships in commercially important fish …

Despite being an important component of the marine ecosystem and posing health risks to
human seafood consumers, fish parasites in Indonesia have yet to be adequately described …

Parasite communities are similar to free‐living communities; decay of similarity over
geographic distance, theory of island biogeography, species–area relationships and …
