| the effect of anonchocephalus chilensis riggenbach (eucestoda: bothriocephalidea) on infracommunity patterns in genypterus maculatus tschudi (osteichthyes: ophidiidae). | the use of parasite body size (i.e. body mass) is a promising proxy to improve the study of patterns in parasite infracommunities, which are usually analysed using only numerical descriptors. this study deals with the importance and effect of the presence of a large endoparasite species, the cestode anonchocephalus chilensis in a marine fish species, genypterus maculatus, on the structure of the parasite infracommunities. numerical and volumetric measures of aggregated properties of parasite inf ... | 2008 | 18394212 |
