Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using behavioral observations and network simulations, we evaluate direct and indirect transmission of the MTBC pathogen M. mungi in banded mongooses. Incorporating intergroup scent marking reveals that environmentally mediated, socially directed pathways can promote spread at low transmissibility, elevating population prevalence even when direct ...

Vaccination against ectoparasites
Parasitology, 2006 Ectoparasites of livestock are of great economic and social importance but their effective control remains difficult. The feasibility of vaccination as a novel control measure was established over a decade ago with the commercial release of a recombinant vaccine against the cattle tickBoophilus microplus. Since then, research has continued on ticks and

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Plumage coloration is widely recognized as an important component in intraspecific communication. Our aim was to examine the variation of oxidative parameters and their associations with the coloration of two different nestling plumage traits in collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We analysed over 100,000 migrating birds from 157 species to identify macroecological drivers of interspecific variation in louse fly prevalence. Using phylogenetically informed Bayesian models, we show that host morphology, ecology and biogeographic traits shape infection patterns, with Ornithomya avicularia and O.

Ectoparasite diversity and abundance in different lemur species
UndergraduateOne factor influencing lemur health is ectoparasites, which can cause negative impacts on their host. The ectoparasite load on a given lemur varies as a result of multiple factors like age, sex, hormones, and behavior.

Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 1059-1071, June 2026.Parasites can alter host communities in complex ways, but empirical data from natural systems are rare. This study decomposes the effects of an invasive parasite on natural communities of fish in Trinidad, revealing the direct, indirect, and context dependence of the invasion on host demographic rates and community structure.

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 385-394, June 2026.Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is an economically significant aquaculture species and ranks among Australia's top five farmed finfish. As global production intensifies, understanding the physiology and health of barramundi is essential to support animal welfare and industry profitability.
