Patterns and processes of larval emergence in an estuarine parasite system
In an experimental mark--recapture study where overall prevalence at the study site was only 30%, Sousa (1993) found that annual replacement of one trematode by another eliminated 72% of Euhaplorchis californiensis (by far the most common trematode in our system), 11% of Acanthoparyphium spinulosum, 8% of Echinoparyphium sp., 8% of Himasthla rhigedana, and 1% of Parorchis acanthus (the most dominant species).
