Abstract

Authors would like to replace Fig. 7 with the revised version due to error in figure legend. The revised Fig. 7 is given below. (Figure presented.) Associations between Daphnia hosts and microsporidian parasite taxa. Two unique microsporidian taxa were detected, with sequences closely matching previous records of Pseudoberwaldia daphniae (mean sequence similarity 99.14%; N = 79) and Conglomerata obtusa (mean sequence similarity 99.31%; N = 23). Both parasites infected all three host species. However, the relative frequency of each parasite differed across host taxa. D ambigua (N = 49) was almost exclusively infected by P. daphniae (96%) and infrequently infected by C. obtusa (4%). Infections in the other two hosts were more evenly distributed, although P. daphniae still represented the majority of infections in both D. laevis (N = 39; 56%) and D. parvula (N = 14; 71%). Error bars are standard errors of proportions The original article has been corrected.
