Component Endoparasite Communities Mirror Life-History Specialization in Syntopic Reed Frogs (<i>Hyperolius</i> spp.)
Most of our knowledge on the processes structuring parasite communities in amphibians originate from temperate-zone taxa, whereas Afrotropical communities have been neglected so far. We found evidence that ecological fitting of the hosts and, probably, differential immune response may influence the...
