Global warming, bioinvasions, and parasitism affect single‐species performances and
species interactions, substantially impacting the structure and stability of marine ecosystems …

This review analyses the scarce available data on biodiversity and transmission of helminths
in Arctic coastal ecosystems and the potential impact of climate changes on them. The focus …

Parasitism is expected to change in a warmer future, but whether warming leads to
substantial increases in parasitism remains unclear. Understanding how warming effects on …

Parasites represent a critically understudied component of reef communities—a knowledge
gap that has become more evident as infectious diseases emerge. Here, we test the roles of …

Trematode prevalence and abundance in hosts are known to be affected by biotic drivers as
well as by abiotic drivers. In this study, we used the unique salinity gradient found in the …

Parasites can alter the traits or densities of mutualistic partners, potentially destabilizing
mutualistic associations that underpin the structure, functioning, and stability of entire …

Fear plays a crucial role in predator–prey interactions and can have cascading impacts on
the structure of whole ecosystems. Comparable fear effects have recently been described for …

Parasites play many regulating roles that are increasingly recognized in different
ecosystems. In coastal ecosystems, the trematode Himasthla elongata infects blue mussel …

Trematodes are common parasites in intertidal ecosystems. Cercariae, their dispersive
larvae, ensure transmission of infection from the first intermediate molluscan host to the …

Histopathological examination in mussels can provide useful information for the diagnosis of
ecosystem health status. The distribution of parasites in mussels can be conditioned by …
