Ecological divergence of closely related Diplostomum (Trematoda) parasites
Parasite life-cycles present intriguing model systems to study divergence in resource use and ecology between parasite taxa. In ecologically similar taxa, consistent selective forces may lead to convergence of life-history traits, but resource overlap and similarity of life-cycles may also promote divergence between the taxa in (1) use of host species ...

Abstract Elevated concentrations of contaminants have negative impacts on aquatic organisms and their parasites. Changes in parasite infections have been proposed as a technique for monitoring the health of aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, alterations in physiological responses (biomarkers) of organisms have also been used to delineate ecosystem ...

Abstract Parasites have deleterious effects on their hosts, often resulting in altered host behavior or increased energy expenditure. When organisms are exposed to suboptimal environments, parasite loading may increase. Microbialite pools along the warm temperate South African coastline have been hypothesized as refugia for Epaulette gobies ...

Environmental correlates of adaptive diversification in postglacial freshwater fishes
Abstract Determining how environmental conditions contribute to divergence among populations and drive speciation is fundamental to resolving mechanisms and understanding outcomes in evolutionary biology. Postglacial freshwater fish species in the Northern Hemisphere are ideal biological systems to explore the effects of environment on diversification ...

Fitness effects of assisted gene flow in an endangered salmonid population
This study investigates the impact of assisted gene flow on the fitness of an endangered landlocked salmon population. Our results reveal that while assisted gene flow can have a positive influence on individual growth, it can also lead to decreased survival rates under predation risk.

Freshwater fish as hosts for parasites in Australia: How much do we really know?
Abstract Australia has a highly endemic freshwater fish fauna, but basic biological knowledge for most is lacking. This includes an understanding, and description, of their parasite fauna. Additionally, the impacts of introduced fish species, and their parasites which have transferred across to native species, are also mostly unknown.
