“…5). Laboratory studies have demonstrated that tempera= ture may be an important factor influencing life-history traits of larval trematodes within their poikilotherm intermediate hosts (Rees, 1948;Stirewalt, 1954;Gumble et al, 1957;Watertor, 1968;Shostak & Esch, 1990). The generally reported positive relationship between temperature and production of cercariae suggests that the high temperatures during spring 1990 were an important factor causing the present mass development of trematode larvae in H. ulvae and, in turn, their successful transmission to C. volutator.…”

At the same time, the C. volutator population became extinct. Since other conceivable mortality factors could be ruled out, parasites are suspected to be the causative agent. Apart from the expected effects on potential predators by the decline in the two invertebrate populations, the benthic community changed and destabilization of the substratum occurred probably because of the die-off in C. volutator. Meteorological data suggest high temperatures as a triggering factor of the massdevelopment of the studied trematodes.

“…Watertor (1968) has shown, for example, that elevated water temperature will significantly suppress normal growth, development and reproduction of Telorchis bonnerensis in salamanders; while Telford (1965) observed that elevated temperature reduces the density of Macdonaldius oschei microfilariae circulating in the peripheral 93 (2) blood of the boa constrictor, Constrictor c. mexicanus. Primary among those which depress nopulation densities are temperature, diet and inter-and intraspecific interaction.…”

It may be expressed physiologically or behaviorally in either the host or the parasite. The outcome of stress may be an increase or a decrease in natality and mortality which may then result in significant changes in the densities of the involved populations. At the ecosystem level, stress may be manifested either directly or indirectly on individuals or populations, but the outcome is change in natality or mortality and, hence, in the density of the affected species. The varied response to stressor input at the individual, population and ecosystem levels is dictated by the capacity for adaptability present at each level; the response may be modified, however, by the unique combination of environmental characteristics at the time of stressor input.

“…For example, precipitation has been linked to higher prevalence and abundance of parasites (Froeschke et al, 2010; Wood et al, 2012), and a lack of precipitation can limit egg and larvae development and survival (Morgan & van Dijk, 2012). Extreme temperatures can slow development or kill parasites, while warmer temperatures within the tolerable range can speed up development (Morgan & van Dijk, 2012; Watertor, 1968; Wood et al, 2012). Temperature can also alter parasite transmission, for example by influencing the release of infective larvae (Achiorno & Martorelli, 2016; Paull et al, 2015), through the increase in predation of free‐living larval stages (Goedknegt et al, 2015), or by affecting a host's susceptibility and exposure to parasitic infection (Barber et al, 2016).…”

Aim: While most free-living taxa follow the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), or the trend of higher diversity at lower latitudes, we know little about how the diversity of parasitic taxa is distributed across latitudes. To better understand the macroecological patterns of parasite diversity, we sought to determine whether (1) helminths follow the traditional LDG; (2) taxonomic resolution impacts observed patterns; (3) latitudinal patterns are consistent across levels of community organization and (4) helminth diversity is correlated with climate-and host-associated variables.
