Integrating climate change, biological invasions, and infectious wildlife diseases
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Climate change is likely to affect infectious diseases that are facilitated by biological invasions, with repercussions for wildlife conservation and zoonotic risks. Current invasion management and policy are underprepared for the future risks associated with such invasion‐related wildlife diseases. By considering evidence from bioclimatology, invasion

Environmental variability affects optimal trade‐offs in ecological immunology
Ecosphere, 2021 The costs of mounting and maintaining an immune response lead to trade‐offs with investment in (or maintenance of) other organ systems or functions such as reproduction, as has been observed in several taxa, including birds, insects, and mammals.

The Master and Parasite Attack [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We explore a new type of malicious script attacks: the persistent parasite attack. Persistent parasites are stealthy scripts, which persist for a long time in the browser's cache. We show to infect the caches of victims with parasite scripts via TCP injection.

Spread of parasites affecting death and division rates in a cell population [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We introduce a general class of branching Markov processes for the modelling of a parasite infection in a cell population. Each cell contains a quantity of parasites which evolves as a diffusion with positive jumps. The drift, diffusive function and positive jump rate of this quantity of parasites depend on its current value.

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Little is known about diatom parasitism in marine systems. Guinardia delicatula, a biomass‐dominant diatom on the Northeast US Shelf (NES), is regularly parasitized by the protistan nanoflagellate, Cryothecomonas aestivalis in this region. While G.

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies
Ecology and EvolutionParasitism represents a prevalent and successful ecological strategy that has evolved independently numerous times across metazoa. Understanding the origin and diversification of parasitism is a central question in evolutionary biology.

Effects of Different Hosts on Bacterial Communities of Parasitic Wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Parasitism is a special interspecific relationship in insects. Unlike most other ectoparasites, Nasonia vitripennis spend most of its life cycle (egg, larvae, pupae, and early adult stage) inside the pupae of flies, which is covered with hard puparium ...

Discourse Processes, 2015 The action of apologizing can be accomplished as themain business of the interaction or incidentally while participants are doing something else. We refer to these apologies as "parasitic apologies" because they are produced en passant (Schegloff, 2007), and focus our analysis on this type of apology occurring at the opening of the call. Such apologies

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Winter phytoplankton blooms have been documented in several temperate lakes, yet the mechanisms triggering them remain poorly understood. Understanding the ecology of these blooms is key for predicting succession patterns, especially given the impact of climate change on winter conditions.
