Abstract:Pelagic zones are characterised by consistent large-scale patterns of circulation on local and global scales. Lake Tanganyika, as an enclosed ecosystem provides a playing field to study evolutionary and ecological processes applicable to open water areas worldwide. Despite their important role in the ecosystem, large scale patterns of the distribution of parasites remain poorly understood. Monogenean parasites have been proposed as tags for ecosystem dynamics because of their direct life cycle and often high h… Show more
