Hotter, faster, sicker? Warming shifts the cost of infection from individuals to populations

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines how temperature alters disease impacts across biological scales in a host–pathogen system. We found infected hosts appear healthiest at warm temperatures, yet populations suffer most. This suggests climate warming may intensify disease impacts for populations in ways traditional individual‐level virulence metrics fail to predict ...

AI‐Assisted Morphometric Analysis and Molecular Phylogeny for a Dactylogyrid (Monopisthocotyla) Skin Parasite of an Ornamental Crenuchid Fish From Brazil

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a formal description and taxonomic appraisal of Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n., a Neotropical parasite belonging to the family Dactylogyridae, integrating AI‐assisted morphometric analyses, molecular data, and phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n.

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Harmful parasitic crustaceans infecting wild arripids: A potential threat to southern Australian finfish aquaculture

, 2010
Parasitic crustaceans are responsible for severe disease outbreaks in finfish aquaculture. We provide the first report of five marine ectoparasitic crustacean species including Argulus diversicolor Byrnes, 1985 (Branchiura: Argulidae), Caligus bonito ...

Parasitic crustaceans in fishes from some Philippine Lakes [PDF]

, 2001
Parasitic crustaceans are among the most harmful parasites of fishes. Certain species cause disease outbreaks and mortalities in aquaculture, facilities, and sometimes in natural systems, resulting in serious economic losses.

Morphological and Morphometric Characterisation of Selected Camarodont Sea Urchin (Echinoidea: Camarodonta) Pedicellariae (Paracentrotus lividus, Psammechinus miliaris and Echinus esculentus)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

Parasitic Crustacea from north-east Atlantic fishes [PDF]

, 1991
Fish from the north-east Atlantic, including neighbouring aquens are host of 3 species of Branchiura, 163 Copepoda, 37 Isopoda, 2 Amphipoda, and 1 of parasitic Cirripedia. Chondrichthyes have more species of parasitic crustaceans than Osteichthyes.
