Role of the employment status and education of mothers in the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in Mexican rural schoolchildren [PDF]

, 2006
<p><b>Background:</b> Intestinal parasitic infections are a public health problem in developing countries such as Mexico. As a result, two governmental programmes have been implemented: a) "National Deworming Campaign" and b ...

Competition for food affects the strength of reproductive interference and its consequences for species coexistence

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Competition for food and reproductive interference (negative interspecific sexual interactions) have been identified as major drivers of species exclusion. Still, how these biotic interactions jointly determine competitive dominance remains largely unknown.

Eco‐evolutionary responses of a cold‐water fish (Salmo trutta) to the combined effects of an emerging pathogen and temperature

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract How wildlife populations respond to the different components of global change and their interactions is still poorly understood. For instance, emerging pathogens can directly impact the genetic and phenotypic attributes of their hosts through directional selection or ...

New host records of Brazilian pentastomid species

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Pentastomida is a taxon of parasitic organisms infecting generally the respiratory system of vertebrates, mainly reptiles. Although this taxon is very important for understanding the phylogeny of the Metazoa, it has received little attention.

Melvillean Parasites

, 2022
Melvillean Parasites addresses an aspect of Herman Melville’s authorship largely overlooked by previous scholars: the abundance of narrators and characters in his writings in search of food—an aim they typically pursue through sponging off the people they encounter.

Vegetation dominantly shapes the elevational patterns of archaeal and protistan communities and their ecological functions in the Hengduan Mountains, Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While elevational patterns of soil bacterial and fungal communities in mountain ecosystems have been well documented, the assembly processes of soil archaeal and protistan communities, and their linkage with ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), remain poorly understood ...

Co-infestation of gills by different parasite groups in the mullet, Mugil platanus Günther, 1880 (Osteichthyes, Mugilidae): effects on relative condition factor

Brazilian Journal of Biology
This study involved 334 specimens of mullet, Mugil platanus, captured monthly in the estuarine region of Cananéia, São Paulo State, Brazil, from July 1988 to June 1989, and examined for the presence of gill parasites. Parasitological inspections revealed

Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.
