Behavior out of control: Experimental evolution of resistance to host manipulation [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many parasites alter their host's phenotype in a manner that enhances their own fitness beyond the benefits they would gain from normal exploitation. Such host manipulation is rarely consistent with the host's best interests resulting in suboptimal and ...

Copepod Behavior Responses Around Internal Waves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Internal waves are ubiquitous features in coastal marine environments and have been observed to mediate vertical distributions of zooplankton. Internal waves possess fine-scale hydrodynamic cues that copepods and other zooplankton are known to sense ...

Starvation reduces thermal limits of the widespread copepod Acartia tonsa
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Organismal thermal limits affect a wide range of biogeographical and ecological processes. Copepods are some of the most abundant animals on the planet and play key roles in aquatic habitats.

Fatty acid bioconversion in harpacticoid copepods in a changing environment : a transcriptomic approach [PDF]
, 2020 By 2100, global warming is predicted to significantly reduce the capacity of marine primary producers for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) synthesis.

Temperature and food quantity effects on the harpacticoid copepod Nitocra spinipes : combining in vivo bioassays with population modeling [PDF]
, 2017 The harpacticoid copepod Nitocra spinipes has become a popular model species for toxicity testing over the past few decades. However, the combined influence of temperature and food shortage, two climate change-related stressors, has never been assessed ...

Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence [PDF]
, 2017 A key ecological parameter for planktonic copepods studies is their interspecies encounter rate which is driven by their behaviour and is strongly influenced by turbulence of the surrounding environment.

Revista Principia, 2020 The aim of this work is to bring this first record of L. cyprinacea in B. splendens. The anchor worm, also known as L. cyprinacea is an ectoparasitic copepod that can result in the mortality of the host by causing hemorrhages, ulcerations, and secondary ...

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007 Cyclopoid copepods have proved more effective for practical mosquito control than any other invertebrate predator of mosquito larvae. Their operational potential is enhanced by the fact that mass production is relatively easy and inexpensive. The exceptional potential of copepods for mosquito control was first realized about 25 years ago.
