Finally, how have these archival assemblages and the manner of their construction influenced historical interpretations ?
In conclusion, epidemiology is the most parsimonious explanation of the order that may be observed in ectoparasite assemblages.
They can also be merely stochastic assemblages of available species.
Nested assemblages resulting from host size variation : the case of endoparasite communities in fish hosts.
Our analysis also included measures of the taxonomic diversity of parasite species in the different assemblages.
In other words, the variance in taxonomic distinctness of parasite assemblages of schooling fish was higher than that of their non-schooling relatives.
In fact, however, many assemblages occur as outliers below the 90% confidence interval.
The factors contributing to the similarity between digenean parasite assemblages parasitizing the black-headed gull were investigated.
