Can manipulative parasites modify host‐mediated trophic effects? Experimental evidence from Schistocephalus solidus and three‐spined sticklebacks

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Parasites can alter host traits, thereby reshaping host interactions and modifying density‐ and trait‐mediated effects in trophic cascades. But despite increasing research in parasite ecology, the cascading effects of parasitism from individual hosts to population and ...

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
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.
