Abstract
Katie Motson studied the change in fish parasite communities between healthy and degraded coral reef habitats. She found that fish in degraded coral reef habitats faced higher levels of external parasite infection. Increases in parasitism add to the sub-lethal stressors of habitat degradation faced by coral reef organisms.
