Abstract

Here we conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of ectoparasites and endoparasites of Astyanax altiparanae (Garutti & Britski, 2000), popularly known as lambari-do-rabo-amarelo collected from the Batalha River, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Of the 67 specimens of A. altiparanae, 52 were parasitized by at least one parasitic metazoan species. The following metazoan parasites were found: Monogenea, Digenea and Nematoda. The monogenetic Diaphorocleidus sp. was the predominant species, presenting a higher frequency of dominance, prevalence and mean abundance. However, the monogenean Trinigyrus sp. was the one with the highest mean intensity value. All parasites showed aggregate distribution pattern. The parasitic community of A. altiparanae was characterized by low diversity, low richness and low uniformity. The digenetic Rhipidocotyle santanaensis is recorded for the first time in A. altiparanae, in the same way, this parasite is being registered for the first time in the Batalha River.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 July 2018.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Biology
#6
of 12 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#245,984
of 336,988 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Biology
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 0.8. This one scored the same or higher as 6 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,988 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
