This comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date work provides the definitive overview of
marine parasites worldwide. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers in …

In a meta‐analysis, the overall mean correlation between fish length and the intensity of
parasitic infections derived from 76 different host–parasite species was positive but weak …

Aggregated distributions among individual hosts are a defining feature of metazoan parasite
populations. Heterogeneity among host individuals in exposure to parasites or in …

Recent studies on cleaning behaviour suggest that there are conflicts between cleaners and
their clients over what cleaners eat. The diet of cleaners usually contains ectoparasites and …

Tropical labrids Hemigymnus melapterus sampled underwater had low plasma levels of

A review is given of (mainly recent) work on the biodiversity, ecology, biogeography and
practical importance of marine parasites. Problems in estimating species numbers have …

Host biological factors and habitat influence the faunal assemblages and biodiversity
worldwide, including parasite communities of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. The …

Host‐parasite systems can be powerful arenas in which to explore factors influencing
community structure. We used a comparative approach to examine the influence of host …
