The Adaptive Host Manipulation Hypothesis: Parasites Modify the Behaviour, Morphology, and Physiology of Amphibians
(GB, 2022-09)
Parasites have evolved different strategies to increase their transmission from one host to another. The Adaptive Host Manipulation hypothesis states that parasites induce modifications of host phenotypes that could maximise ...
ATPe dynamics in protozoan parasites. Adapt or Perish
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018-12-27)
In most animals, transient increases of extracellular ATP (ATPe) are used for physiological signaling or as a danger signal in pathological conditions. ATPe dynamics are controlled by ATP release from viable cells and cell ...
Parasites or cohabitants: cruel omnipresent usurpers or creative “Eminences Grises”?
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
Analysis of Predicted Host-Parasite Interactomes Reveals Commonalities and Specificities Related to Parasitic Lifestyle and Tissues Tropism
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2019)
Thick eggshells of brood parasitic cowbirds protect their eggs and damage host eggs during laying
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07)
Brood parasites lay thick-shelled eggs and numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain the significance of this trait. We examined whether thick eggshells protect the parasite egg during laying events. We used eggs ...
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 ...
Coevolutionary arms race between a specialist brood parasite, the Screaming Cowbird, and its host, the Grayish Baywing
(Springer, 2019-10)
Interspecific brood parasites exploit the parental care of host species. This exploitation entails fitness costs for the hosts, which favor the evolution of antiparasitic defenses. Host defenses select for counter-defenses ...
Assessment of parasite-mediated selection in a host-parasite system in plants
(Ecological Society of America, 2000)
A two-year field study was conducted to evaluate the potential of two cactus
species, Echinopsis chilensis and Eulychnia acida, to evolve defensive traits against the
parasitic mistletoe Tristerix aphyllus (Loranthaceae). ...
