There is currently considerable interest in the evolution of parasite manipulations of hosts
that facilitate transmission. The classic examples of such adaptive manipulations typically …

Aposematism is a well-known strategy in which prey defend themselves from predation by
pairing defenses such as toxins, with warning signals that are often visually conspicuous …

The diversity of ways in which parasites manipulate the phenotype of their hosts to increase
their transmission has been well‐documented during the past decades. Parasites clearly …

The concept of parasites manipulating behavior fascinates both scientists and non-
scientists. The idea that an invading organism can control a person's mind remains a …

The coevolutionary interactions between avian brood parasites and their hosts provide a
powerful system for investigating the diversity of animal coloration. Specifically, reciprocal …

The life cycle of commercially used molluscicidal rhabditid nematodes Phasmarhabditis
hermaphrodita and entomopathogenic steinernematid nematodes is similar: infective stages …

Trophically transmitted parasites often alter their intermediate host's phenotype, thereby
predisposing the hosts to increased predation. This is generally considered a parasite …

Many microbial pathogens can switch to new hosts or adopt alternative transmission routes
as environmental conditions change, displaying unexpected flexibility in their infection …

Nearly all animals in nature are infected by at least one parasite, and many of those
parasites can significantly change the phenotype of their hosts, often in ways that increase …

The study of the adaptive manipulation of animal behavior by parasites is entering very
exciting times. Collectively the field has moved from its important and instructional natural …
