Increased parasite load is associated with reduced metabolic rates and escape responsiveness in pumpkinseed sunfish
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 …

Ectoparasite presence and brood size manipulation interact to accelerate telomere shortening in nestling jackdaws
Early‐life conditions impact fitness, but whether the combined effect of extrinsic stressors is
additive or synergistic is not well known. This is a major knowledge gap because exposure …

Is there a role for aromatic plants in blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) nests? Results from a correlational and an experimental study
The utility of fresh green material in avian nests is still not fully understood. Potential
explanations include the effects of plants' volatile compounds on parasite reduction (nest …

Reduced ectoparasite load, body mass and blood haemolysis in Eurasian kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) along an urban–rural gradient
Urbanisation is proceeding at an alarming rate which forces wildlife to either retreat from
urban areas or cope with novel stressors linked to human presence and activities. For …

Elevated nest temperature has opposing effects on host species infested with parasitic nest flies
Environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, can have varying effects on hosts and
their parasites, which can have consequences for the net outcome of this relationship. The …

Experimental ectoparasite removal has a sex‐specific effect on nestling telomere length
SE Wolf, S Zhang, ED Clotfelter - Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Parasites are a strong selective force that can influence fitness‐related traits. The length of
chromosome‐capping telomeres can be used to assess the long‐term costs of parasitism …

Seasonal animal migrations and the Arctic: ecology, diversity, and spread of infectious agents
Many animals are highly mobile and have evolved long-distance migrations that make them
actors in multiple ecosystems through the year and throughout their life. Most long-distance …
