Table 1 Premise features and ecological properties of recovered strongyle communities. Average species richness (number of recovered strongyle species) and Shannon’s index of diversity are provided for each premise

From: Equine strongyle communities are constrained by horse sex and species dipersal-fecundity trade-off
