The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 648-657, April 2026.The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise
