In the five decades since the first publication of the International Journal for Parasitology,
ecological parasitology has grown from modest beginnings to become a modern discipline …

Elevational migration can be defined as roundtrip seasonal movement that involves upward
and downward shifts in elevation. These shifts incur physiological challenges that are …

Geographic turnover in community composition is created and maintained by eco-
evolutionary forces that limit the ranges of species. One such force may be antagonistic …

Parasites can indirectly affect ecosystem function by altering host phenotype, but the trait‐
mediated impacts of parasitism at an ecosystem level remain poorly characterised …

Climate-induced evolution will determine population persistence in a changing world.
However, finding natural systems in which to study these responses has been a barrier to …

Understanding how environmental drivers influence the assembly of parasite communities,
in addition to how parasites may interact at an infracommunity level, are fundamental …

Why do some regions share more or fewer species than others? Community assembly relies
on the ability of individuals to disperse, colonize and thrive in new regions. Therefore, many …

Understanding how and why fish species composition varies between locations through
beta‐diversity has received increased interest recently. The physical structure, extension …

Parasites can play a role in speciation, by exerting different selection pressures on different
host lineages, leading to reproductive barriers in regions of possible interbreeding. Hybrid …

Avian haemosporidians are protozoan parasites transmitted by insect vectors that infect
birds worldwide, negatively impacting avian fitness and survival. However, the majority of …
