Parasites relying on trophic transmission to complete their life cycles often induce modifications of host's behavior in ways that may increase susceptibility predation by final hosts. These have been interpreted as parasite adaptations, but very few studies demonstrated host manipulation has fitness benefits for the parasite. The aim present study was address adaptive significance coupling observations behavioral estimates definitive natural environment. We show acanthocephalan...
SUMMARY Phenotypic alterations induced by parasites in their intermediate hosts often result enhanced trophic transmission to appropriate final hosts. However, such may also increase the vulnerability of predation non-host species. We studied influence both infection with 3 different acanthocephalan ( Pomphorhynchus laevis , P. tereticollis and Polymorphus minutus ) availability refuges on susceptibility amphipod Gammarus pulex 2 predators microcosms. Only increased amphipods crayfish,...
Manipulation by parasites is a catchy concept that has been applied to large range of phenotypic alterations brought about in their hosts. It has, for instance, suggested the carotenoid-based colour acanthocephalan cystacanths adaptive through increasing conspicuousness infected intermediate hosts and, hence, vulnerability appropriate final such as fish predators. We revisited evidence favour coloration relation increased trophic transmission using crustacean amphipod Gammarus pulex and two...
Practical gaps in knowledge of fence ecology or its specific requirements still exist despite numerous recommendations scattered throughout various articles. We recently carried out two different studies on fences a French context whose results corroborate this observation, and highlight the need to synthetise prioritise scientific technical research. The first study was an exploratory research project escape devices used allow ungulates exit fenced transport infrastructure right‐of‐way....
The rapid expansion of Utility‐Scale Solar Energy (USSE) is expected to meet economic and environmental challenges that society faces today in the future. Yet there a paucity comprehensive research on biodiversity responses USSE. Here we investigated impact USSE species movements via correlations between landscape connectivity modeling similarity butterfly communities given their life‐history traits. Our results suggest mobile butterflies cope with while interpatch movement sedentary does...
Abstract Salt pollution of freshwater ecosystems represents a major threat to biodiversity, and particularly interactions between free‐living species their associated parasites. Acanthocephalan parasites are able alter intermediate host's phenotype reach final hosts, but this process could be affected by salt pollution, thereby compromising survival the parasite. We experimentally assessed impact on extended parasite Pomphorhynchus laevis in host, amphipod Gammarus pulex , based three...
