| Abstract | Phylogenetically or taxonomically related hosts may harbour similar parasite communities due to phylogenetic
conservatism. In addition, host attributes may favour their exposure to parasites. This study aimed to characterize
the helminth fauna of sigmodontine rodents in an Atlantic Forest area in northeastern Brazil and determine
the pattern of the helminth metacommunity structure. The influence of host attributes and host taxonomy on the
metacommunity structure was also investigated. The most abundant helminth species were Raillietina sp. and
Hassalstrongylus lauroi. Euryoryzomys russatus was the most infected host species for helminth parasites, as
approximately 81% (35/43) of the animals were infected by at least one helminth species. The helminth metacommunity
structure was coherent at both the infracommunity and the component community scales, indicating
that species responded to the same environmental gradient. A quasi-Clementsian pattern was observed for
the infracommunities, indicating the occurrence of compartments of parasite species that were substituted along
the environmental gradient, which was formed by host individuals. A quasi-Gleasonian pattern was found at the
component community scale, showing random boundary clumping, which is consistent with the individualistic
responses of parasite species to each host species. These patterns corroborated the high values of beta-diversity
observed, indicating high species turnover among communities at both scales. Host taxonomic distance was the
most important variable explaining the patterns of the helminth metacommunity structure. | pt_BR |
