Similarity in parasite communities of the teleost fish Pinguipes brasilianus in the southwestern Atlantic: Infracom-munities as a tool to detect geographical patterns - Timi J.T., Lanfranchi A.L. and Luque J.L. [J.T. Timi, Laboratorio de Parasito-logia, Departamento de Biologia, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Funes 3350, (7600) Mar del Plata, Argentina] - INT. J. PARASITOL. 2010 40/2 (243-254) - summ in ENGLrnPatterns of distance decay in similarity among communities of the fish Pinguipes brasilianus (Teleostei: Pinguipedidae) from fivernareas in the southwestern Atlantic were investigated to determine whether the rate of decay varied depending on the community level or the parasite guild analyzed (ectoparasites, adult endoparasites and larval endoparasites). Similarities in species composition were computed at both the component community and infracommunity levels. Similarity indices were calculated between all possible pairs of assemblages from different zones. Infracommunity similarity values between and within host populations were averaged.
