Environmental correlates of parasitism in introduced threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in the Upper Deschutes River Basin, Oregon

Creator:

Koketsu, Wataru

Abstract:

The Pseudophyllidean tapeworm, Schistocephalus solidus, is a parasite that requires both copepods and fish, mainly the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) as intermediate hosts, and birds as its final host to complete its life cycle.
