| four-year monitoring of parasite communities in gobiid fishes of the south-western baltic. i. guild and component community. | the parasite communities of goby species (teleostei, percomorphi) from the south-western baltic sea were investigated from 1997 to 2000 in three different seasons. in total, 30 parasite species were found in the guild of four goby spp. from dahmeshöved (lübeck bight). the component community of pomatoschistus minutus comprised 22, pomatoschistus pictus 20, gobiusculus flavescens 18 and gobius niger 14 parasite species, whereas pomatoschistus microps from the salzhaff (mecklenburg bight) harboure ... | 2003 | 12827504 |
| identification of a host-associated species complex using molecular and morphometric analyses, with the description of gyrodactylus rugiensoides n. sp. (gyrodactylidae, monogenea). | gyrodactylus rugiensis was originally described as a parasite occurring on the marine gobies pomatoschistus minutus and pomatoschistus microps. in our preliminary survey this species was also frequently found on pomatoschistus pictus and pomatoschistus lozanoi. subsequent molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacers rdna region revealed that this parasite actually represents a complex of two apparently cryptic species, one restricted to p. microps and the other shared by p. minutus, p. ... | 2002 | 12062562 |
