An ecological law and its macroecological consequences as revealed by studies of relationships between host densities and parasite prevalence

Epidemiological models predict a positive relationship between host population density and abundance of macroparasites. Here I test these by a comparative study. I used data on communities of four groups of parasites inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, nematodes of the orders Oxyurida, Ascarida, Enoplida and Spirurida, respectively. The data came from 44 mammalian species and represent examination of 16 886 individual hosts.
