Ecology of the acanthocephala / C.R. Kennedy.
Kennedy, C. R., 1941-| Call Number | 592.33138 |
| Author | Kennedy, C. R., 1941- author. |
| Title | Ecology of the acanthocephala / C.R. Kennedy. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (ix, 249 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Life cycles and transmission -- Biogeography and distribution -- Specificity -- Host-parasite interactions -- Population dynamics -- Community dynamics -- Introductions and extinctions -- Relations to ecosystem changes. |
| Summary | Acanthocephalans, or spiny-headed worms, are endoparasites found in almost all marine, freshwater and terrestrial systems. They infect a huge range of definitive and intermediate hosts during their life cycles, including both vertebrates and arthropods. This volume, first published in 2006, examines the distribution and abundance of the Acanthocephala, and uses this ecological information to reveal the group's enormous survival success. It discusses how the acanthocephalans have evolved differently to all other groups of parasites, and represent a distinct and alternative pathway of parasite evolution and host parasite-interactions. Written for graduate students and researchers in parasitology, ecology and zoology or anyone interested in reading about parasite ecology and evolution. |
