Food chain, parasites and climate changes in the high Arctic: a case study on trophically transmitted parasites of common eider Somateria mollissima at Franz Josef Land
Assessment of the impact of climate change on the Arctic nearshore ecosystems requires knowledge of the “reference points”, that is, the state of...

Parasites on the edge: patterns of trematode transmission in the Arctic intertidal at the Pechora Sea (South-Eastern Barents Sea)
Trematodes are common parasites in intertidal ecosystems. In North Atlantic, many of them use periwinkles Littorina saxatilis as the first...

Patterns of Distribution in Helminth Parasites of Freshwater Fish of Mexico: Can We Detect Hotspots of Richness and Endemism?
We analysed the patterns of the distribution of richness and endemism of helminth parasites of freshwater fishes of Mexico based on occurrence data...

Water snakes have a high diversity of parasites in anthropized environments
Because of their host's energetic exhaustion, parasites are among the first species to be influenced by environmental changes. The change in habitats...

Free-living parasite infectious stages promote zooplankton abundance under the risk of predation
Free-living parasite infectious stages, such as the cercariae of trematodes (flatworms), can represent substantial biomass in aquatic ecosystems, yet...

Amphibian Host and Skin Microbiota Response to a Common Agricultural Antimicrobial and Internal Parasite
Holistic approaches that simultaneously characterize responses of both microbial symbionts and their hosts to environmental shifts are imperative to...

GC-MS, antioxidant study and effect of Sesbania sesban var. bicolor on Raillietina echinobothrida and Syphacia obvelata
Anthelmintic medicinal plants can cause deformities in the external structure of parasites exposed to them. Sesbania sesban var. bicolor is a...

Parasites as Emerging Biomonitoring Tools-Promises and Pitfalls
The ongoing debate over the application of parasites as ecological indicators for environmental assessment is quite interesting. In recent decades,...

Multiple factors contribute to the spatially variable and dramatic decline of an invasive snail in an estuary where it was long-established and phenomenally abundant
Boom-bust dynamics of invasive species have long intrigued scientists and managers alike, but quantification of such dynamics, let alone their...

Consequences of microsporidian prior exposure for virus infection outcomes and bumble bee host health
Host–parasite interactions do not occur in a vacuum, but in connected multi-parasite networks that can result in co-exposures and coinfections of...

Origins and diversity of the Bering Sea Island fauna: shifting linkages across the northern continents
We synthesize the historical biogeography of non-marine fauna (mammals, birds, fish, non-parasitic and parasitic invertebrates) occurring across...
