Wild animals have parasites that can compromise their physiological and/or behavioural
performance. Yet, the extent to which parasite load is related to intraspecific variation in …

Even for animals with multiple senses at their disposal, there may be a strong reliance on a
single sense, like vision, for social behavior. Experimentally blocking or eliminating vision …

A prerequisite for a parasitic manipulation to be considered adaptive is that it confers a
fitness benefit to the parasite, such as increased transmission to another host. These …

Many parasites can alter the behaviour of their hosts in a manner beneficial to the parasite
(parasitic manipulations). Obviously, examples of non-manipulative parasites also exist; …

The northern section of the Caspian Sea and lower reaches of the Zhaiyk (Ural) River is an
important fishery for Kazakhstan. In the present study, a total of 1597 individuals of ten fish …

Fish, like most vertebrates, are dependent on vision to varying degrees for a variety of
behaviours such as predator avoidance and foraging. Disruption of this key sensory system …

Les facteurs de stress biotiques, tels que les parasites, peuvent affecter le fitness d'un
animal en modifiant le comportement et la physiologie de l'hôte. Puisque les parasites sont …

Diplostomatid digeneans are well-known manipulators of the behavior of their intermediate
hosts. Unencysted metacercariae of Tylodelphys sp. inhabit the cranial cavity of the fish …

Wild animals have parasites that can compromise their physiological and/or behavioural
performance. Yet, the extent to which parasite load is related to intraspecific variation in …

Parasites can influence the behaviour of their hosts, however investigations on how they
may shape multiple personality traits are uncommon. The flatworm parasite Tylodelphys …
