| Abstract |
|
Patterns of infracommunity similarity were examined for 27 male and 6 female common snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina serpentina, collected from Westhampton Lake on the campus of the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, during the summer mo of 1979 and 1980. Patterns of infracommunity similarity based on parasite abundance emphasized differences between yr and between host sexes. Patterns of similarity based on parasite presence or absence emphasized differences among the mo sampled. This suggests that there were consistent seasonal changes across both yr in terms of which parasites were present, but that there were differences between yr in terms of the abundances of those parasites.
