Variation in prevalence and intensity of macroparasites in moose and their interactions with winter tick load in eastern Canada

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

Dehydration worsens heat tolerance of locusts and amplifies predicted impacts of climate change

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract By increasing the mean and variance of environmental temperatures, climate change has caused local extinctions and range shifts that are likely to intensify over time.

There Goes the Neighbourhood-A Multi-City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

Long‐term population dynamics of an insect in a simple food web under a changing environment

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This long‐term population study illustrates the complexity of weather effects on insects and how population variability depends on the form of density dependence. Weak regulation leads to long‐term fluctuations without clear traces on short‐term variation. Responses to even drastic changes can be hard to detect without accurate knowledge of mechanisms.

Mycorrhizal fungi compromise production of endophytic alkaloids, increasing plant susceptibility to an aphid herbivore

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings indicate that symbiotic fungal partnerships and silicon provision may benefit plants but could weaken anti‐herbivore defences when combined. Revealing the complex interactions among diverse fungal symbionts and showcasing their effects on different anti‐herbivore defences (chemical and physical) and herbivore performance for the first ...
