Modelling the consequences of targeted selective treatment strategies on performance and emergence of anthelmintic resistance amongst grazing calves [PDF]
, 2016 The development of anthelmintic resistance by helminths can be slowed by maintaining refugia on pasture or in untreated hosts. Targeted selective treatments (TST) may achieve this through the treatment only of individuals that would benefit most from ...

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response
Ecography, EarlyView.The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Ranging behavior of female and male Shiny Cowbirds and Screaming Cowbirds while searching for host nests [PDF]
, 2014 Pusimos a prueba la hipótesis que los tordos parásitos de cría buscan y localizan nidos de hospedadores dentro de un área relativamente constante, ya que esto facilitaría el monitoreo de nidos a través del tiempo y la sincronización del parasitismo con ...

Constructive Memory in Truth‐Telling for Reconciliation
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Truth‐telling has, in diverse contexts, been conceptualised as a vehicle for achieving reconciliation following injustice. As a social and political phenomenon, it involves the communication of narratives grounded in episodic memory. Such narratives may fail to reproduce the details of past events and may even include details that were not ...
