Fig 1.
Interacting network of South American anuran species and helminth families.
Anuran phylogeny is adapted from [23].
Fig 2.
Barplot of helminth parasite species reported to different anuran families.
White bars show the number of anuran species surveyed, color bars show the amount (log transformed) of helminth parasites reported for each host family.
Fig 3.
Frequency of the number of studies, body size and geographic range tested as predictors of helminth parasite species richness in South American Anurans.
Table 1.
Results from the nls model for the relationship between study effort, host size and geographic range and parasite species richness in anurans from South America.
Fig 4.
Estimates of helminth parasite species richness (PRS) to South American anurans of different body sizes in response to the number of studies (study effort).
Each circle represents an anuran species, the size of each circle shows the real study effort, dashed lines show the estimated PRS in response to different study effort.
Table 2.
Estimates of helminth species richness to South American anurans of different body sizes.
Table 3.
Results from the phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) for the relationship between study effort, host size, geographic range and parasite species richness in anurans from South America.
Model fit parameters are described in the footnote1.
