Low Susceptibility of Invasive Red Lionfish (Pterois volitans) to a Generalist Ectoparasite in Both Its Introduced and Native Ranges
Escape from parasites in their native range is one of many mechanisms that can contribute
to the success of an invasive species. Gnathiid isopods are blood-feeding ectoparasites that …

Temporal patterns of Pederson shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni Chace 1958) cleaning interactions on Caribbean coral reefs
Dozens of marine species have been identified as “cleaners” and many of these co-occur
and have considerable overlap in clientele. Understanding the temporal patterns and …

Habitat degradation drives increased gnathiid isopod ectoparasite infection rate on juvenile but not adult fish
Widespread coral mortality is leading to coral reef degradation worldwide. Many juvenile
reef fishes settle on live coral, and their predator-avoidance behaviour is disrupted in …
