Recent efforts to include parasites in food webs have drawn attention to a previously ignored
facet of foraging ecology: parasites commonly function as prey within ecosystems. Because …

The diversity of ways in which host manipulation by parasites interferes with ecological and
evolutionary processes governing biotic interactions has been recently documented, and …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

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 …

By modifying the behaviour and morphology of hosts, parasites may strongly impact host
individuals, populations and communities. We examined the effects of a common trematode …

Produced amidst the still rippling effects of a pandemic and as the world experiences the
increasing burden of global warming and a rapidly changing biosphere, the second edition …

In most cases, parasites alter more than one dimension in their host phenotype. Although
multidimensionality in parasite-induced phenotypic alterations (PIPAs) seems to be the rule …

The population trophic niche of free-living species can be subdivided into smaller niches
comprising individuals specialising on specific food items. The roles of parasites in creating …

Manipulative parasites have the capacity to alter a broad range of phenotypic traits in their
hosts, extending from colour, morphology and behaviour. While significant attention has …

Several parasite species, particularly those having complex life-cycles, are known to induce
phenotypic alterations in their hosts. Most often, such alterations appear to increase the …
