Haematozoa in forest birds from southern Chile: Latitudinal gradients in prevalence and parasite lineage richness

2008-05-01

Abstract excerpt

The existence of latitudinal gradients in species richness and their abundance is known for many free living organisms but few cases have been reported for parasitic diseases. In addition, asymmetries between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in several characteristics may affect the distribution and diversity of species at all ecological levels. In this respect, we study the distribution of several genera of...
