1. We expanded two previously studied food webs, those of the Ythan estuary and Loch Leven, by the documentation of metazoan endoparasites present in each system. The resulting webs are the first in the literature to contain substantial numbers of pa... Read More about Parasites and Food Web Patterns.

Hydrobia ulvae were collected from five areas on the Ythan estuary, and the prevalences of digenean parasites in the samples compared. Differences in mean shell height were best explained by differences in parasite prevalence. All snails larger than...
