Body size distribution in flea communities harboured by . . . The distribution of body sizes of co-existing species at different scales reflects the scale-dependency of rules governing community assembly Investigation of among-scale variation in community assembly is impeded by the methodological difficulties of establishing scale boundaries Studying body size distribution in parasites allows us to avoid the problem of defining scale because parasite
