DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6869
Abstract: Abstract Amphipods are often key species in aquatic food webs due to their functional roles in the ecosystem and as intermediate hosts for trophically transmitted parasites. Amphipods can also host many parasite species, yet few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2020.e00167
Abstract: Abstract Ecological monitoring studies have shown that surrogate species can provide good predictive power for the community diversity of other taxa. In our study, we sampled for resident and transient fauna in several newly created… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182018002159
Abstract: Abstract The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is a critically endangered species endemic to southern Africa. Limited information is available on the parasite diversity associated with the species in natural settings. This study explores the diversity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68340-4
Abstract: We compiled an updated global catalogue of parasites in cephalopods. Data were used to assess changes in taxonomic distinctness of parasites over two centuries and across the world’s oceans, to quantify turnover and nestedness components… read more here.

How does host ecology influence sampling effort in parasite diversity estimates? A case study using Neotropical freshwater fishes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Acta Parasitologica"
DOI: 10.1515/ap-2017-0042
Abstract: Accurately estimating biodiversity is fundamental to ecological understanding and prediction. Helminthes are often neglected in biodiversity estimates and when included are often underestimated. Here we examine how sampling effort affects estimates of parasite diversity in… read more here.

A Global Assessment of Parasite Diversity in Galaxiid Fishes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Diversity"
DOI: 10.3390/d13010027
Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowledge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge… read more here.
