©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.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).

These numbers come from web analytics and reflect real user activity on the site. They reliably show dataset usage and are mostly free of bot traffic.
This dataset reports taxonomy, rationale for life history trait assignments based on literature, and rationale for inclusion or exclusion from certain diversity analyses for between-ecosystem comparative analyses in Dykman et al. (2023).
This is a summary table aggregating parasite species and morphogroups from three published dissection datasets: intertidal lagoon sand flats of Palmyra Atoll (5.884° latitude, -162.078° longitude) (Vidal-Martínez et al. 2012, Vidal-Martínez et al. 2017, McLaughlin 2018, González-Solís et al. 2019, Soler-Jiménez et al. 2019); kelp forests on the coast of Santa Barbara, California (34.394° latitude, -119.730° longitude) (Morton et al. 2021); and deep-sea hydrothermal vents at 9°50’N on the East Pacific Rise (9.840° latitude, -104.292° longitude) (Dykman et al. 2022). Subsetting procedures for the three dissection data sets that resulted in the final species list are provided on Zenodo.
Some of the source of the species are from this related “vent dissection” data set.
