Unexpected bird–feather mite associations revealed by DNA metabarcoding uncovers a dynamic ecoevolutionary scenario
The high relevance of host–switching for the diversification of highly host–specific symbionts (i.e., those commonly inhabiting a single host species) demands a better understanding...
Long-term dynamics of dispersal patterns
Dispersal movements of animals may be jointly influenced by the phenotype of dispersers and the environmental and social conditions in the source and destination areas. Dispersal is often strongly...
Stochastic and deterministic effects on interactions between canopy and recruiting species in forest communities
Interactions between established (canopy) and recruiting individuals (recruits) are pervasive in plant communities. Studies on recruitment in forests have mainly focused on negative...
Water boatman survival and fecundity are related to ectoparasitism and salinity stress
Salinity is increasing in aquatic ecosystems in the Mediterranean region due to global change, and this is likely to have an important impact on host-parasite interactions. Here the relationships...
DNA changes in mosquitos induced by malaria infection
Infection by the human malaria parasite leads to important changes in mosquito phenotypic traits related to vector competence. However, we still lack a clear understanding of the underlying...
