Parasite species richness in carnivores: effects of host body mass, latitude, geographical range and population density (2007, methodology): “To deal with variation in the number of parasites recorded due to differential sampling effort, we followed previous studies by including a measure of sampling effort in the analyses (Poulin, 1995, 1998; Walther et al ., 1995; Poulin & Rohde, 1997; Morand, 2000; Morand & Harvey, 2000; Arneberg, 200”
Flea species richness and parameters of host body, host geography and host ‘milieu’ (2004, background): “Furthermore, Arneberg (2002) found a positive relationship between strongylid nematode richness and mammalian body mass, but the effect of host population densities had to be controlled for to see this.”
Body size, diet and sociality influence the species richness of parasitic worms in anthropoid primates (2004, methodology): “…models, supported by data from several empirical and comparative studies, point to strong links between host density or local group size and the spread and diversity of directly transmitted parasites (Anderson and May, 1979; Packer et al., 1999; Arneberg, 2001, 2002; Altizer et al., 2003b).”
Social Organization and Parasite Risk in Mammals: Integrating Theory and Empirical Studies (2003, background): “A large number of epidemiological models, supported by data from several empirical and comparative studies, point to strong links between host density or local group size and the spread and diversity of directly transmitted parasites (Figures 2 and 3; Anderson & May 1979, Arneberg 2002).”
Wildlife Population Structure and Parasite Transmission: Implications for Disease Management (2009, background): “Meta-analyses have shown nematode richness, abundance and prevalence to be positively associated with population density in mammals (Arneberg 2002).”
