N2 - Local, regional and global influences on the patterns of parasite species richness of 39 freshwater fish species from Central Europe were investigated. Host local abundance and host occurrence were considered respectively as local and regional factors, while host geographical range in longitude and latitude was considered as a global factor. Influences of size, ecology and behavior of hosts were also included in a comparative analysis using the independent contrasts method. We considered host habitat, host diet, host shoaling behavior and mobility. We found a positive relationship between local occurrence of fish and global range of their distribution. We confirmed previous findings showing the importance of host behavior and ecology on the variability of parasite species richness. Second, we showed how a global pattern, such as host geographical range, may affect the variability in parasite species richness through its effects on local abundance and distribution of hosts. A negative relationship between endoparasite species richness and host longitudinal range was found. This suggests that fish with eastern distribution live in the boundary of their distribution in Central Europe far from their center of distribution, which should also be characterized by a higher diversity of parasites.
