Differentially susceptible host fishes exhibit similar chemo-attractiveness to a common coral reef Ectoparasite
(Springer, 2020)Gnathiid isopods are common crustacean parasites that inhabit all oceans from shorelines to depths of over 3000 m and use chemical cues to find their marine fish hosts. While gnathiids are host-generalists, hosts vary in ... -
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 ... -
Host feeding ecology and trophic position significantly influence isotopic discrimination between a generalist ectoparasite and its hosts: implications for parasite-host trophic studies
(Elsevier, 2018)Despite being one of the most prevalent forms of consumerism in ecological communities, parasitism has largely been excluded from food-web models. Stable isotope analysis of consumers and their diets has been widely used ... -
Molecular assessment of three species of Anilocra (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) ectoparasites from Caribbean coral reef fishes, with the description of Anilocra brillae sp. n.
(Pensoft, 2017)A morphological review and molecular characterization of Anilocra haemuli Bunkley Williams & Williams, 1981, were completed using specimens collected from Haemulon flavolineatum Desmarest, 1823 (French grunt) and Epinephelus ...
