Abstract:
:The community structure of monogeneans on the gills of a catfish Pimelodus albicans, in the Río de la Plata, was studied and compared with previous findings on P. maulatus. Six Monogenea species belonging to 3 genera were found: Demidospermus majusculus Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998; Demidospermus armostus Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998; Demidospermus idolus Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998; Demidospermus bidiverticulatum (Suriano & Incorvaia, 1995) Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998; Scleroductus yuncensi Jara & Cone, 1989; and Unibarra paranoplatensis Suriano & Incorvaia, 1995. The relationships between selected host and helminth variables; the interactions between the worms and the patterns obtained from the species abundance were analysed employing appropriate statistical methodology. The results obtained revealed the following common patterns within the monogenean communities of P. maculatus and P. albicans: (a) most monogenean species belonged to the genus Demidospermus; (b) S. yuncensi was a secondary species in both communities; (c) 1 of the 3 species common to both hosts was a core species (D. bidiverticulatum); (d) the selected variables of both hosts (weight and length) were not related to the number of monogeneans or species richness; (e) the dominant species in both communities showed the highest proportion of monogeneans in more than 40% of the infracommunities; (f) in both communities the dominant species accounted for 40-80% of the total number of monogeneans at component community level; (g) the number of worms correlates positively with the species richness; (h) few cases of interaction among species were found; (i) a high degree of order exists among the infracommunities compared. Finally, the proportion of common species and the phylogenetic and ecological resemblances between the hosts, P. maceulatus and P. albicans support a hypothesis of co-speciation among monogeneans and pimelodids in Río de la Plata. It seems improbable that these parasite communities are recent species assemblages formed by chance. The phylogenetic resemblance of the host-monogeneans system in Río de la Plata suggests that there is a single community pattern that can be observed in congeneric and sympatric hosts.
