The use of ecological terms in parasitology (report of an ad hoc committee of the American Society of Parasitologists)
TL;DR: In this paper, an ad hoc committee was established to establish working definitions of a few terms used and misused by parasitological ecologists as a guide for authors submitting papers to The Journal of Parasitology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduced species and their missing parasites
TL;DR: The number of parasite species found in native populations is twice that found in exotic populations, and introduced populations are less heavily parasitized than are native populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eradication revisited: dealing with exotic species.
TL;DR: The potential ecological and social ramifications of eradication projects make them controversial; however, these programs provide unique opportunities for experimental ecological studies.
