When parasites become prey: ecological and epidemiological significance of eating parasites
Recent efforts to include parasites in food webs have drawn attention to a previously ignored
facet of foraging ecology: parasites commonly function as prey within ecosystems. Because …

Parasites affect food web structure primarily through increased diversity and complexity
Comparative research on food web structure has revealed generalities in trophic
organization, produced simple models, and allowed assessment of robustness to species …

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of parasite avoidance
Predators often cause prey to adopt defensive strategies that reduce predation risk. The
'ecology of fear'examines these trait changes and their consequences. Similarly, parasites …
