why do siberian chipmunks tamias sibiricus (sciuridae) introduced in french forests acquired so few intestinal helminth species from native sympatric murids? | a lack of newly acquired species partly explains why introduced host species have poor specific parasite diversity. the intestinal helminth community from two native murid host species, wood mice apodemus sylvaticus [murinae] (n=40), bank voles clethrionomys glareolus [arvicolinae] (n=42), and an introduced sciurid, the siberian chipmunk tamias sibiricus (n=42), dominant in the rodent communities, was studied from three woody areas in the ile-de-france region. native gastrointestinal helminth fa ... | 2009 | 19050922 |
