Evolution of host specificity in monogeneans of Cichlidogyrus/Scutogyrus group parasitizing African cichlid fish.
Original language description
Evolution and determinants of host specificity in gill monogeneans of Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus species parasitizing African Cichlidae were investigated. More specifically, we analyzed (1) the link between host specificity and parasite phylogeny, (2)potential morphometric correlates of host specificity (i.e. parasite body size and morphometric variables of attachment apparatus), (3) potential determinants of host specificity following the hypothesis of ecological specialization and the hypothesis ofspeciation on predictable resources, and (4) the role of brooding behavior of cichlids in determining host specificity. We showed that host specificity of Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus species is not linked to parasite phylogeny suggesting that specificity may reflect other than historical constrains.
