Figure 2 in Parasite community of the golden cownose ray Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann and Jenkins 1891 (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatidae), in Acapulco Bay, Guerrero, Mexico

Figure 2. Canonical correlations between the first two discriminant functions, and the parasites of Rhinoptera steindachneri, which allow establishment of differences in parasite community structure between the sampling months. Eud = Eudactylinodes keratophagus and Tyl = Tylocephalum sp. were the most important parasites in determining the position of the July 2010 sample. Pad = Parachristianella dimegacantha, characteristic of rays collected in August 2010. Den = Denarycotyle gardneri, Ser = Serendip danbrooksi and Try = Trypanorhyncha larvae defined the position of the July 2012 sample.
