Evolution and Ecology of Parasite Avoidance

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2022
Parasite avoidance is a host defense that reduces an individual's contact rate with parasites. We investigate avoidance as a primary driver of variation among individuals in their risk of parasitism and the evolution of host–parasite interactions.

Emphasizing the ecology in parasite community ecology

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007
In natural systems, individuals are often co-infected by many species of parasites. However, the significance of interactions between species and the processes that shape within-host parasite communities remain unclear. Studies of parasite community ecology are often descriptive, focusing on patterns of parasite abundance across host populations rather

Ecological Consequences of Parasite Invasions

2023
Invasions of pathogens and parasites can have far-reaching ecological consequences in their recipient ecosystems. In this chapter, we provide a conceptual overview of the various mechanisms underlying these ecological consequences, which we illustrate using examples from the literature.

Ecology of Parasites in Mudflat Ecosystems

2018
Mudflats are not only home to large numbers of bivalves, polychaetes, crustaceans, fish and birds, but also to diverse communities of parasites. In this chapter, we illustrate and explore how the resulting parasite-host interactions can affect host populations, communities and food webs in mudflat ecosystems, equalling in importance the effects ...
