Název v původním jazyce
Evolution and determinants of host specificity of monogeneans parasitizing African cichlid fish.
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Host specificity is considered as a result of various factors including phylogenetic and ecological aspects. However, the basic of features governing the evolution of host specificity is not yet fully understood. In this study, the evolution and determinants of host specificity in gill monogeneans of Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus species parasitizing African freshwater fish of Cichlidae were investigated. More specifically, we analyzed (1) a 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 speciation on predictable resources, (4) a link between host range and parasite abundance following the hypothesis of ecological specialization, and (5) the role of brooding behavior of cichlids for parasite diversification including the aspect of host specificity.
