A comprehensive account of fungal classification from freshwater habitats is outlined and
discussed in the present review based on literature of biodiversity studies and recent …

Environmental parasitology deals with the interactions between parasites and pollutants in
the environment. Their sensitivity to pollutants and environmental disturbances makes many …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been a marker of choice for reconstructing historical
patterns of population demography, admixture, biogeography and speciation. However, it …

Recent decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical and empirical studies of sex

Parasitism, aptly defined as one of the 'living-together'strategies (Trager, 1986), presents a
dynamic system in which the parasite and its host are under evolutionary pressure to evolve …

Microsporidia cause important diseases in aquatic organisms. Susceptible hosts span a
remarkable taxonomic spectrum, from protists to mammals. Known genera represent a small …

Insect Symbiosis summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic
organisms and their insect hosts and provides an unparalleled analysis of cutting-edge …

Despite the fact that all vertically transmitted symbionts sequester resources from their hosts
and are therefore costly to maintain, there is an extraordinary diversity of them in …

Symbiotic associations between animals and inherited micro-organisms are widespread in
nature. In many cases, hosts may be superinfected with multiple inherited symbionts …

Many pollinator populations are declining, with large economic and ecological implications.
Parasites are known to be an important factor in the some of the population declines of …
