| the potential role of strongyloides robustus on parasite-mediated competition between two species of flying squirrels (glaucomys). | there is growing evidence that populations of the northern flying squirrel (glaucomys sabrinus) are declining in the eastern united states, perhaps due to competition with the southern flying squirrel (glaucomys volans). potential causes include parasite-mediated or apparent competition from the shared intestinal nematode, strongyloides robustus, which has been shown to detrimentally affect the northern flying squirrel but not the southern flying squirrel. to investigate this hypothesis, we cond ... | 2010 | 20090036 |
