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

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

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.
