| dactylogyrids (platyhelminthes: monogenoidea) parasitizing butterfly fishes (teleostei: chaetodontidae) from the coral reefs of palau, moorea, wallis, new caledonia, and australia: species of euryhaliotrematoides n. gen. and aliatrema n. gen. | seven species of euryhaliotrematoides n. gen. and 1 species of aliatrema n. gen. (monogenoidea; dactylogyridae) are described and reported from the gills of 15 species of butterfly fishes (chaetodontidae) from the coral reefs of moorea (french polynesia), wallis (wallis and futuna), heron and lizard (australia), palau (micronesia), and new caledonia: aliatrema cribbi n. sp. from chaetodon auriga, chaetodon lunula, chaetodon trifasciatus, chaetodon ulietensis, chaetodon vagabundus, forcipiger fla ... | 2004 | 15165056 |
| did biogeographical processes shape the monogenean community of butterflyfishes in the tropical indo-west pacific region? | geographical distribution of parasite species can provide insights into the evolution and diversity of parasitic communities. biogeography of marine parasites is poorly known, especially because it requires an understanding of host-parasite interactions, information that is rare, especially over large spatial scales. here, we have studied the biogeographical patterns of dactylogyrid parasites of chaetodontids, one of the most well-studied fish families, in the tropical indo-west pacific region. ... | 2017 | 28322846 |
