A model for studying isolation mechanisms in parasite populations: The genus Lepeophtheirus (Copepoda, Caligidae)
Abstract In the Mediterranean, the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus thompsoni Baird, 1850 specifically infests turbot ( Psetta maxima L., 1758), whereas L. europaensis Zeddam, Berrebi, Renaud, Raibaut, and Gabrion, 1988 infests brill ( Scophthalmus rhombus L., 1758) and flounder ( Platichthys flesus...
