Enhanced understanding of ectoparasite–host trophic linkages on coral reefs through stable isotope analysis

Parasitism, although the most common type of ecological interaction, is usually ignored in food web models and studies of trophic connectivity. Stable isotope analysis is widely used in assessing the flow of energy in ecological communities and thus is a potentially valuable tool in understanding t...
