Parasite taxonomic and life cycle information from literature

Abstract

Aggregated summary table of metazoan parasite species from atoll lagoon sandflats (Vidal-Martínez et al. 2012, Vidal-Martínez et al. 2017, McLaughlin 2018, González-Solís et al. 2019, Soler-Jiménez et al. 2019), kelp forests (Morton et al. 2021), and deep-sea hydrothermal vents included in analyses in Dykman et al. (2023). The summary table also includes taxonomic and life cycle information for each parasite species compiled from literature, and rationale for inclusion or exclusion from analyses in Dykman et al. (2023).
