Title A name given to the resource Efectos del rizocéfalo Loxothylacus armatus (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) en el cangrejo Paraxanthus barbiger (Decapoda: Brachyura) en Chile Effects of the rhizocephalan Loxothylacus armatus (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) on the crab Paraxanthus barbiger (Decapoda: Brachyura) in Chile Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MARIO GEORGE-NASCIMENTO, JOSÉ BUSTOS Description An account of the resource Diversas asociaciones biológicas de amplia distribución y alta especificidad en el ambiente marino han pasado casi desapercibidas para los estudiosos en Chile. Aquí se describe cuantitativamente la infección por Loxothylacus armatus Boschma 1949 (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) en el cangrejo Paraxanthus barbiger (Poeppig 1836) (Decapoda: Brachyura) y se evalúa si el parásito produce efectos semejantes a los descritos para asociaciones similares. Para ello, 513 ejemplares del cangrejo fueron recolectados manualmente desde el submareal somero, entre septiembre y octubre de 2003, en Lenga, Octava Región de Chile. La prevalencia de rizocéfalos alcanzó valores máximos cercanos al 60 % en hospedadores de pequeño tamaño corporal, provocando castración, inhibiendo el desarrollo gonadal de las hembras y modificando el tamaño de los caracteres sexuales secundarios en ambos sexos, lo que sugiere que impone una gran demanda sobre su hospedador. Estos resultados muestran una gran similitud con otros estudios que involucran a rizocéfalos, y podrían, al incorporar a las simbiosis en el estudio de las comunidades bentónicas en Chile, conducir a que se reinterprete, por ejemplo, la abundancia y patrones de reproducción de P. barbiger, una especie de depredador prominente de esas comunidades bentónicasIn the marine realm, several biological associations are distributed worldwide and are highly specific, but remain poorly studied in Chile. Here, we describe quantitatively the infection by the barnacle Loxothylacus armatus Boschma 1949 (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) in the crab Paraxanthus barbiger (Poeppig 1836) (Decapoda: Brachyura), and assess if the parasite effects are similar to rhizocephalan-decapod associations elsewhere. To do this, 513 crabs were collected by hand while scuba diving between September and October, 2003 in the shallow subtidal zone of Lenga (37° S), Chile. Maximum prevalence reached ca. 60 % in small body size hosts, producing total castration of males, inhibiting the gonadic development of female crabs and modifying the size of sexual characters in both sexes, thus revealing that this parasite imposes a great demand upon its host. These results are closely similar to others involving rhizocephalans, and suggest that taking into account symbiosis like this one in the study of benthic communities in Chile could lead to new interpretations about the abundance and reproductive patterns of P. barbiger, which is a prominent predator in these communities Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Subject The topic of the resource Chile, Community ecology, Rhizocephala-Decapoda, asociaciones biológicas, biological associations, castración parasitaria, ecología de comunidades, parasitic castration Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Revista Chilena de Historia Natural Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available BMC Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Botany, Zoology Relation A related resource <a href="http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S0716-078X2006000200001" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S0716-078X2006000200001</a>
