| Abstract | Understanding the role of species traits in mediating ecological interactions and shaping com munity structure is a key question in ecology. In this sense, parasite population parameters
allow us to estimate the functional importance of traits in shaping the strength of interactions
among hosts and parasites in a network. The aim of this study was to survey and analyse the
small mammal-helminth network in a forest reserve of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in order
to understand (i) how functional traits (type of parasite life cycle, site of infection in their
host, host and parasite body length, host diet, host locomotor habit and host activity period)
and abundance influence host–parasite interactions, (ii) whether these traits explain species
roles, and (iii) if this relationship is consistent across different parasite population parameters
(presence and absence, mean abundance and prevalence). Networks were modular and their
structural patterns did not vary among the population parameters. Functional traits and abun dance shaped the interactions observed between parasites and hosts. Host species abundance,
host diet and locomotor habit affected their centrality and/or vulnerability to parasites. For
helminths, infection niche was the main trait determining their central roles in the networks. | pt_BR |
