At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Living organisms in aquatic ecosystems are almost constantly confronted by pathogens.
Nevertheless, very little is known about diseases of marine diatoms, the main primary …

In nature, parasite species often coinfect the same host. Yet, it is not clear what drives the
natural dynamics of coinfection prevalence. The prevalence of coinfections might be affected …

Specific host–parasite interactions, where the outcome of exposure to a parasite depends
upon the genotypic identity of both parties, have implications for understanding host …

The cost of parasitism often depends on environmental conditions and host identity.
Therefore, variation in the biotic and abiotic environment can have repercussions on both …

Under conditions of global warming, organisms are expected to track their thermal
preferences, invading new habitats at higher latitudes and altitudes and altering the …

Climate change has the potential to shape the future of infectious diseases, both directly and
indirectly. In aquatic systems, for example, elevated temperatures can modulate the …

Climate change can have critical impacts on the ecological role of keystone species, leading
to subsequent alterations within ecosystems. The consequences of climate change may be …

The seasonal dominance of cyanobacteria in the phytoplankton community of lake
ecosystems can have severe implications for higher trophic levels. For herbivorous …

Many host–parasite interaction dynamics show distinct seasonality. Parasite population
growth and invasion success are generally explained by host density dependence, while the …
