The relative influence of competition and coevolution on the community structure of insectivorous bats in Southern Africa
Biotic filters rather than abiotic filters should influence the community structure of animals such as insectivorous bats with life histories characterized by low fecundity. low predation risk. long life expectancy, and stable populations. I investigated the relative influence of biotic filters on …

Parasites in freshwater mussels: community ecology and conservation
… and at least 188 unique parasitic or endosymbiotic species. However, 53% of mussel species have no records, and few observations record the effects of the parasites, highlighting key research gaps that need to be filled. Chapters 3 and 4 provide novel methods to study the effect of digenean …
