Geographic variability in abundance can be driven by multiple physical and biological
factors operating at multiple scales. To understand the determinants of larval trematode …

This work reviews the significant community of digenean trematodes observed infecting the
edible cockle, Cerastoderma edule, and the snail Nassarius reticulatus in the channel of S …

Renicolid digeneans parasitize aquatic birds. Their intramolluscan stages develop in marine
and brackish-water gastropods, while metacercariae develop in molluscs and fishes. The …

Digeneans (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda: Digenea)(Plates 14-1-14.25)—sometimes referred
to as flukes, trematodes, digenes, or digenetic trematodes-comprise the vast majority of …

This study analyzed the influence of several abiotic and biotic variables on the distribution of
digenetic trematode infections in a mudsnail, Hydrobia ventrosa, population inhabiting 12 …

The similarity in species composition between two communities generally decays as a
function of increasing distance between them. Parasite communities in vertebrate definitive …

Parasitism rates can vary dramatically across large and small spatial scales. Such
heterogeneity in infection is driven by variation in environmental factors that influence the …

Notocotylids are common digeneans parasitising birds and mammals. They have a two-host
life cycle with cercariae encysting in the open. Particular life cycles remain unknown for …

The mating system of a species can have great effects on its genetic structure and evolution.
We studied the extent of multiple paternity in a gastropod with internal fertilization, the …

Parasites can impart heavy fitness costs on their hosts. Thus, understanding the spatial and
temporal consistency in parasite pressure can elucidate the likeliness of parasites' role as …
