There is considerable current interest in the role that parasites can play in biological
invasions. This review looks at the fate of parasites during a biological invasion and at their …

Climate change is causing habitat salinity to transform at unprecedented rates across the
globe. While much of the research on climate change has focused on rapid shifts in …

Some hosts harbor more parasites than others. Overdispersion of parasitism suggests that
coevolution with parasites may be more important to the biology and ecology of certain …

Abstract Subtropical Florida blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, exhibit differing life history traits
compared to their temperate counterparts, likely influencing symbiont infection dynamics …

Coevolutionary relationships between parasites and their hosts can lead to the emergence
of diverse phenotypes over time, as seen in Ophiocordyceps fungi that manipulate insect …

Foundation species like the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) create complex habitats
for organisms across multiple trophic levels. Historic declines in oyster abundance have …

Growing evidence suggests that microbiomes have been shaping the evolutionary pathways
of macroorganisms for millennia and that these tiny symbionts can influence, and possibly …

Although intertidal crabs from the western Atlantic coast are relatively well studied for some
parasite fauna, their parasitic isopods are poorly known. We document two endoparasitic …

Bacterial pathogens are a long-standing threat to the longevity and survival of crustacean
hosts. Their presence and continuing emergence require close monitoring to understand …

Coevolutionary relationships between parasites and their hosts can lead to bizarre
phenotypes over time. As such, certain Ophiocordyceps fungi have evolved to manipulate …
