| parasite diversity of nyctiphanes simplex and nematoscelis difficilis (crustacea: euphausiacea) along the northwestern coast of mexico. | the diversity of parasites found on nyctiphanes simplex and nematoscelis difficilis (order euphausiacea) was compared during 10 oceanographic cruises made off both coasts of the baja california peninsula, mexico. we tested the hypothesis that n. simplex has a more diverse parasitic assemblage than n. difficilis because it is a neritic species, has larger population abundance, and tends to form denser and more compact swarms than n. difficilis. these biological and behavioral features may enhance ... | 2010 | 20377014 |
