Egg rejection and clutch phenotype variation in the plain prinia Prinia inornata
Journal of Avian Biology, 2016 Avian hosts of brood parasites can evolve anti‐parasitic defenses to recognize and reject foreign eggs from their nests. Theory predicts that higher inter‐clutch and lower intra‐clutch variation in egg appearance facilitates hosts to detect parasitic ...

Conspecific brood parasitism: reevaluating a bird’s-eye view [PDF]
, 2022 Conspecific brood parasitism, also known as intraspecific brood parasitism, is characterized by individuals depositing eggs into the established nests of others of the same species.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Dataset from Host density predicts the probability of parasitism by avian brood parasites
, 2019 The spatial distribution of hosts can be a determining factor in the reproductive success of parasites. Highly aggregated hosts may offer more opportunities for reproduction but can have better defences than isolated hosts.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Since 2010, six cases of Atlantic rainforest spotted fever (ARSF) have been confirmed and reported in Brazil, a tick‐borne disease caused by Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest and associated with the tick Amblyomma ovale. So far, none of the cases have been associated with death. One of the cases occurred in 2018 in the

Soil microbial diversity: The hidden wealth of sustainable farming
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to soil health and agricultural sustainability. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance, these communities remain underutilized as biological resources for improving crop production.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.Polystyrene nanoplastics (50 nm) severely reduced the fitness of Daphnia magna infected with the fungal parasite Australozyma monospora, halving parental survival and suppressing reproduction, and they lowered parasite maturation indirectly by killing hosts before transmission rather than by limiting within‐host infection.
