How a parasite (or its offspring) moves from one host to the next remains a central topic in
parasitology. Understanding such strategies is at the heart of applied aspects of …

Parasites affect host behavior in several ways. They can alter activity, microhabitats or both.
For trophically transmitted parasites (the focus of our study), decreased activity might impair …

Cymothoid isopods Anilocra apogonae are regular ectoparasites of the cardinal fish
Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus on the Great Barrier Reef. To determine whether this large …

Commensalism in the narrow sense can be understood as an interaction strictly neutral for
one organism and positive for the other. Neutral interaction is the absence of interaction and …

According to the 'parasitic manipulation hypothesis', phenotypic changes induced by
parasites in their intermediate hosts are effective means of increasing trophic transmission to …

Detrimental effects of parasitism on host fitness are frequently attributed to parasite-
associated perturbations to host energy budgets. It has therefore been widely hypothesized …

Many parasites infect host mouth cavities and are expected to physically impede host
foraging. Despite these potential impacts, few studies have evaluated host foraging activities …

Larval helminths of different species that share the same intermediate host and are
transmitted by predation to the same definitive host may cooperate in their attempts to …

Twenty-nine new identifications of fossil decapod crustacean remains in the Basque-
Cantabrian Basin (Western Pyrenees) spanning from the Jurassic to the Miocene and …

The effects of the acanthocephalan parasites Profilicollis antarcticus and P.
novaezelandensis on the fecundity and mortality of three species of shore crab …
