macroparasite community of the eurasian red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris): poor species richness and diversity.	the eurasian red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris) is the only naturally occurring tree squirrel throughout its range. we aim at improving current knowledge on its macroparasite fauna, expecting that it will have a poor parasite diversity because in species that have no sympatric congeners parasite richness should be lower than in hosts sharing their range with several closely related species, where host-switching events and lateral transmission are promoted. we examined gastro-intestinal helminth and ...	2013	23873618
biodiversity threats from outside to inside: effects of alien grey squirrel (sciurus carolinensis) on helminth community of native red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris).	biological invasions are among the major causes of biodiversity loss worldwide, and parasites carried or acquired by invaders may represent an added threat to native species. we compared gastrointestinal helminth communities of native eurasian red squirrels (sciurus vulgaris) in the presence and absence of introduced eastern grey squirrels (sciurus carolinensis) to detect alterations induced by the alien species. in particular, we investigated whether spillover of a north american nematode stron ...	2015	25877391
