Effects of host injury on susceptibility of marine reef fishes to ectoparasitic gnathiid isopods
(Springer, 2018)The importance of the role that parasites play in ecological communities is becoming increasingly apparent. However much about their impact on hosts and thus populations and communities remains poorly understood. A common ... -
Gnathia marleyi sp. nov. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Gnathiidae) from the Eastern Caribbean
(Magnolia Press, 2012)A new species of gnathiid was collected in June-August 2008 and 2009 from various sites in the Eastern Caribbean. Third stage pranizae taken from fish hosts were maintained in fresh sea water until their moult into males ... -

Parasite infestation increases on coral reefs without cleaner fish
(Springer, 2018)Mutualisms are pivotal in shaping ecological communities. Iconic images of cleaner fish entering the mouths of predatory fish clients to remove ectoparasites epitomize their mutual benefit. Experimental manipulations of ...
