| parasite communities of two three-spined stickleback populations in subarctic norway--effects of a small spatial-scale host introduction. | co-introduction and colonization of parasites with the introduction of new host species into aquatic habitats may depend on the host specificity and dispersal capabilities of the parasites. we compared the metazoan parasite community of an introduced three-spined stickleback (gasterosteus aculeatus) population with that of the nearby source population in subarctic norway. as expected from a small spatial scale (5 km), the parasite component communities in the two lakes were highly similar. all i ... | 2015 | 25630694 |
