Correlation between biodiversity indices of small mammals and their helminths in West Siberian ecosystems

Correlation between biodiversity indices of small mammals and their helminths in West Siberian ecosystems

Biodiversity indices of helminths and population genetic variability indices of small mammals were studied in 17 localities of West Siberia. There is a positive correlation between the species diversity indices of small mammals and their helminths ( r = +0.57, P < 0.001) and a negative correlatio...

Zusammenfassung:Biodiversity indices of helminths and population genetic variability indices of small mammals were studied in 17 localities of West Siberia. There is a positive correlation between the species diversity indices of small mammals and their helminths ( r = +0.57, P < 0.001) and a negative correlation between species diversity indices of helminths and the population genetic variability of their hosts.
