Helminths often occupy defined niches in the gut of their definitive hosts. In the dioecious acanthocephalans, adult males
and females usually have similar gut distributions, but sexual site segregation has been reported in at least some species. We studied
the intestinal distribution of the acanthocephalan Echinorhynchus borealis von Linstow, 1901 (syn. of E. cinctulus Porta, 1905) in its
definitive host, burbot (Lota lota Linnaeus). Over 80% of female worms were found in the pyloric caeca, whereas the majority of males
were in the anterior two-thirds of the intestine. This difference was relatively consistent between individual fish hosts. Worms from
different parts of the gut did not differ in length, so site segregation was not obviously related to worm growth or age. We found proportionally
more males in the caeca when a larger fraction of the females were found there, suggesting mating opportunities influence
gut distribution. However, this result relied on a single parasite infrapopulation and is thus tentative. We discuss how mating strategies
and/or sexual differences in life history might explain why males and females occupy different parts of the burbot gut.

Spatial patterns of tree-related microhabitats: key factors and ecological significance for the conservation of the associated biodiversity
Larrieu, Laurent; Bouget, Christophe; Courbaud, Benoit; Gouix, Nicolas; Goulard, Michel; Lachat, Thibault; Stillhard, Jonas (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) are specific, well delineated above-ground tree morphological singularities occurring on living or standing dead trees. TreMs are key features for many taxa and contribute in the complex ... -
Development of a method based on laser-induced plasma spectrometry for rapid spatial analysis of material distributions in paper coatings
Häkkänen, Heikki (1998)A rapid and low-cost analytical method for studying the material distributions of paper coatings has been developed. The method operates in the dimensional scale of a raster point in printing (≈0.1 mm ) and on the other ... -
