Multi-host parasites can exploit various host species that differ in abundance and
susceptibility to infection, which will contribute unequally to their transmission and fitness …

Personal ornaments manufactured on marine and fossil shell are a significant element of
Upper Palaeolithic symbolic material culture, and are often found at considerable distances …

© 2018 Timo Thünken. Background: Parasites with complex life cycles depend on the
ingestion of their intermediate host by the final host. To complete their life cycle successfully …

Amphipods are model species in studies of pervasive biological patterns such as sexual
selection, size assortative pairing and parasite infection patterns. Cryptic diversity (ie …

Host manipulation is a ubiquitous phenomenon whereby a parasite actively alters its host's
phenotype including host behavior in order to enhance its own fitness beyond benefits …

Interactions involving parasites often account for large proportions of links within aquatic
food webs, yet few studies integrate parasites into their food web analyses. This analysis …

Trophically-transmitted endoparasites can manipulate the behavior of intermediate hosts to
increase transmission to definitive hosts. Less clear, however, is whether these relationships …

Les parasites multi-hôtes peuvent exploiter diverses espèces hôtes différant en abondance
et en sensibilité à l'infection, qui vont contribuer de façon inégale à leur transmission et à …

Parasites can have considerable consequences for their freshwater fish hosts, irrespective
of whether they are intermediate or final hosts. The ecological consequences of infection …

Host infection by parasites is influenced by an array of factors, including host and
environmental features. We investigated the relationship between host sex, body size and …
