#Parasite diversity at isolated, disturbed #HydrothermalVents: Lauren Dykman et al. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2023.0877
"total parasite richness was lower in vents compared to the #kelp forests and intertidal #sandflats. Interestingly, #parasites with indirect life cycles, which were expected to be scarcer, were in fact relatively abundant due to the number of #trematode parasites found infecting host groups living on hydrothermal vents."
