DOI: 10.1007/s00436-021-07254-0
Abstract: Parasite ecology has recently focused on elucidating patterns and processes that shape helminth communities in avian hosts. However, helminths parasitizing gamebirds are still poorly understood. Here we describe the gastrointestinal nematode fauna of Swainson's spurfowl,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0260-y
Abstract: Abiotic factors are major determinants of soil animal distributions and their dominant role is pronounced in extreme ecosystems, with biotic interactions seemingly playing a minor role. We modelled co-occurrence and distribution of the three nematode… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-017-0873-7
Abstract: BackgroundThe nematode species Pristionchus pacificus has an androdioecious mating system in which populations consist of self-fertilizing hermaphrodites and relatively few males. The prevalence of males in such a system is likely to depend on the… read more here.
