RDA of environmental variables and metals on parasites, pathogens and lesions; and biological traits of P. purpuratus at San Jorge Bay, Chile. (a) RDA of environmental variables on parasites, pathogens, lesions and biological traits. (b) RDA of metal tissues on parasites, pathogens, lesions and biological traits. Blue arrows are the biological variables and abundance of parasite/pathogen/lesion. Red arrows are the environmental and metal tissues. Green triangles are the sites.
