Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Adaptation to harshness is fundamentally different from the adaptive stress response: Results from a 20‐year‐long case study in African striped mice

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Animals in harsh environments rely on specialised adaptations. Two decades of field research on African striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) in the Succulent Karoo semi‐desert reveal a distinct ‘harshness response’—marked by reduced metabolism and glucocorticoid levels—that differs fundamentally from the classic stress response.
