A review of urban impacts on avian life‐history evolution: Does city living lead to slower pace of life?

T Sepp, KJ McGraw, A Kaasik… - Global Change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The concept of a pace‐of‐life syndrome describes inter‐and intraspecific variation in several
life‐history traits along a slow‐to‐fast pace‐of‐life continuum, with long lifespans, low …

Why disease ecology needs life‐history theory: a host perspective

A Valenzuela‐Sánchez, MQ Wilber, S Canessa… - Ecology …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
When facing an emerging infectious disease of conservation concern, we often have little
information on the nature of the host‐parasite interaction to inform management decisions …

A skewed literature: Few studies evaluate the contribution of predation‐risk effects to natural field patterns

SD Peacor, NJ Dorn, JA Smith, NE Peckham… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
A narrative in ecology is that prey modify traits to reduce predation risk, and the trait
modification has costs large enough to cause ensuing demographic, trophic and ecosystem …

Parasite-induced plasticity in host social behaviour depends on sex and susceptibility

JF Stephenson - Biology letters, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Understanding the effects of parasites on host behaviour, of host behaviour on parasite
infection, and the reciprocal interactions between these processes is vital to improving our …

Life history, systematics and evolution of the Diplostomoidea Poirier, 1886: progress, promises and challenges emerging from molecular studies

I Blasco-Costa, SA Locke - Advances in parasitology, 2017 - Elsevier
Members of the Diplostomoidea mature in amniotes and employ vertebrates, annelids and
molluscs as second intermediate hosts. Diplostomoid life cycles generally follow a three …

Transmission risk predicts avoidance of infected conspecifics in Trinidadian guppies

JF Stephenson, SE Perkins… - Journal of Animal …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Associating with conspecifics afflicted with infectious diseases increases the risk of
becoming infected, but engaging in avoidance behaviour incurs the cost of lost social …

Mechanisms by which predators mediate host–parasite interactions in aquatic systems

LK Lopez, MA Duffy - Trends in Parasitology, 2021 - cell.com
It is often assumed that predators reduce disease prevalence and transmission by lowering
prey population density and/or by selectively feeding on infected individuals. However …

Aggregation of symbionts on hosts depends on interaction type and host traits

DR Clark, KA Young, J Kitzes, PJ Moore, AJ Evans… - …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Symbionts tend to be aggregated on their hosts, such that few hosts harbor the majority of
symbionts. This ubiquitous pattern can result from stochastic processes, but aggregation …

Do telomeres influence pace‐of‐life‐strategies in response to environmental conditions over a lifetime and between generations?

M Giraudeau, F Angelier, T Sepp - BioEssays, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The complexity of the physiological phenotype currently prevents us from identifying an
integrative measure to assess how the internal state and environmental conditions modify …

The behaviour of infected guppies depends on social context, parasite tolerance and host sex

MG Jog, ME Sackett, SD Kisty, JA Hansen… - Animal Behaviour, 2022 - Elsevier
How infected hosts behave critically affects both their fitness and the transmission, and thus
fitness, of their parasites. Understanding host–parasite coevolution therefore requires …
