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, 2002”
Host traits and parasite species richness in even and odd-toed hoofed mammals, Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla (2006, background): “Among artio- and perissodactyls, larger body size was associated with higher parasite species richness similar to patterns reported across a broad range of vertebrates (Gregory et al. 1996), as well as within specific host groups such as fish (Gue ´gan et al. 1992, Sasal and Morand 1998, Poulin 1995”
Wildlife Population Structure and Parasite Transmission: Implications for Disease Management (2009, background): “…parasite species richness and group size, however appears highly variable, with studies showing positive, negative and an absence of association between the two factors (Poulin 1991, Watve and Sukumar 1995, Nunn, Altizer, Jones and Sechrest 2003, Vitone, Altizer and Nunn 2004, Ezenwa et al. 2006).”
