Experimental testing of reciprocal effects of nutrition and parasitism in wild black capuchin monkeys
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-10)
Nutritional stress may predispose individuals to infection, which in turn can have further detrimental effects on physical condition, thus creating an opportunity for reciprocal effects between nutrition and parasitism. ...
Native fish avoid parasite spillback from multiple exotic hosts: consequences of host density and parasite competency
(Springer, 2013-04)
Disease mediated impacts of exotic species on their native counterparts are often ignored when parasite-free individuals are translocated. However, native parasites are frequently acquired by exotic species, thus providing ...
Acromyrmex charruanus: a new inquiline social parasite species of leaf-cutting ants
(Springer, 2015-08-01)
Social parasites exploit the colony resources of social species to secure their own survival and reproduction. Social parasites are frequently studied as models for conflict and cooperation as well as for speciation. The ...
Does the complement system work for or against the host during parasite infections
(Research Publisher Inc.Roma, 2013)
Studies regarding the role of the complement system in parasitic infections have demonstrated that the complement system often fails to achieve the intended task of destroying the parasite. The reason for this failure is ...

Assessing the influence of geographic distance in parasite communities of an exotic lizard
(2016-01-01)
The decay of similarity between biological communities with increasing geographical distance is a well-established pattern in ecology, but there are more complex factors acting on host population connections that influence ...
Biodiversity of the metazoan parasites of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1837) (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) in anthropized environments from the Batalha River, Sao Paulo State, Brazil
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2018-01-01)
Biodiversity of fish parasites is a field of significant growth worldwide, whether due to the advancement of fish farms or the important role of these organisms as indicators of environment quality and ecosystem health, ...
Parasite community of a temporal notothen fish from intertidal rocky pools in south-central Chile: Is it similar to other fish from the same habitat?Comunidad de parásitos de un pez nototénido temporal del intermareal rocoso del centro-sur de Chile: ¿es similar a la de otros peces del mismo hábitat?

Why ignoring parasites in fish ecology is a mistake
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
Parasites are ubiquitous components of biological systems that have evolved in multiple independent lineages during the history of life, resulting in a diversity of taxa greater than that of their free-living counterparts. ...
