Resetting our expectations for parasites and their effects on species interactions: a meta‐analysis
Despite the ubiquitous nature of parasitism, how parasitism alters the outcome of host–
species interactions such as competition, mutualism and predation remains unknown. Using …

Mechanisms by which predators mediate host–parasite interactions in aquatic systems
It is often assumed that predators reduce disease prevalence and transmission by lowering
prey population density and/or by selectively feeding on infected individuals. However …

Effect of fear, treatment, and hunting cooperation on an eco-epidemiological model: Memory effect in terms of fractional derivative
In this paper, we have studied a fractional-order eco-epidemiological model incorporating
fear, treatment, and hunting cooperation effects to explore the memory effect in the …

An aphid symbiont confers protection against a specialized RNA virus, another increases vulnerability to the same pathogen
CHV Higashi, WL Nichols, G Chevignon… - Molecular …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Insects often harbour heritable symbionts that provide defence against specialized natural
enemies, yet little is known about symbiont protection when hosts face simultaneous threats …

A prey–predator system with disease in prey and cooperative hunting strategy in predator
S Saha, GP Samanta - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
A predator–prey model is proposed in this work where the prey population is infected by a
disease. Here, healthy prey species show defence mechanism while they are attacked by …

How life‐history traits affect ecosystem properties: effects of dispersal in meta‐ecosystems
The concept of life‐history traits and the study of these traits are the hallmark of population
biology. Acknowledging their variability and evolution has allowed us to understand how …

The immune response of the whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) when parasitized by Eretmocerus eremicus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
J Contreras-Garduño, P Torres-Enciso… - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
In insects, the innate immune system is subdivided into cellular and humoral defenses.
When parasitoids attack insects, both reactions can be activated and notably, the …

Unhealthy herds and the predator–spreader: Understanding when predation increases disease incidence and prevalence
Disease ecologists now recognize the limitation behind examining host–parasite
interactions in isolation: community members—especially predators—dramatically affect …

Bifurcation and global stability in an eco-epidemic model with refuge
In this work, we formulate a predator–prey–pathogen model in which the predator is
specialist in nature and infected prey can undergo refugia of constant size to avoid predator …

Bottom-up regulation of a tritrophic system by Beet yellows virus infection: consequences for aphid-parasitoid foraging behaviour and development
Abstract Effects of plants on herbivores can cascade up the food web and modulate the
abundance of higher trophic levels. In agro-ecosystems, plant viruses can affect the …
