Density-and trait-mediated effects of a parasite and a predator in a tri-trophic food web [PDF]
, 2014 1. Despite growing interest in ecological consequences of parasitism in food webs, relatively little is known about effects of parasites on long-term population dynamics of non-host species or about whether such effects are density- or trait- mediated ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Species distribution models (SDMs) have conventionally been used for evaluating the distribution of individual species, but they can also be used, through comparing different SDMs, to evaluate the geographic similarity between taxa.

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2017 1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.

A transmission model for the ecology of an avian blood parasite in a temperate ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Most of our knowledge about avian haemosporidian parasites comes from the Hawaiian archipelago, where recently introduced Plasmodiumrelictum has contributed to the extinction of many endemic avian species.

Parasite infections in a social carnivore: Evidence of their fitness consequences and factors modulating infection load [PDF]
, 2019 There are substantial individual differences in parasite composition and infection load in wildlife populations. Few studies have investigated the factors shaping this heterogeneity in large wild mammals or the impact of parasite infections on Darwinian ...

Endoparasitic fauna of Serrasalmus spp. (Characidae: Serrasalminae) in a neotropical floodplain
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2016 Floodplains systems present complex biodiversity and upper Paraná river floodplain retains a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic species. Serrasalmus marginatus (nonindigenous species) and Serrasalmus maculatus (native species) are part of this ...

Ecology: Plant Parasites Victimized by a Parasitic Plant [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 A recent study reveals a novel type of trophic interaction: galls induced on a native Florida oak by cynipid wasps are attacked by love vine, a subtropical parasitic plant. Attack is fatal to the wasp, and thus there is the opportunity for the vine to exert selection on the wasp to alter gall structure.
