DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5321
Abstract: Abstract Long‐term data on host and parasite fitness are important for predicting how host–parasite interactions will be altered in an era of global change. Here, we use data collected from 1997 to 2013 to explore… read more here.

Coinfecting parasites can modify fluctuating selection dynamics in host–parasite coevolution
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6373
Abstract: Abstract Genetically specific interactions between hosts and parasites can lead to coevolutionary fluctuations in their genotype frequencies over time. Such fluctuating selection dynamics are, however, expected to occur only under specific circumstances (e.g., high fitness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6386
Abstract: Abstract Coevolutionary processes that drive the patterns of host–parasite associations can be deduced through congruence analysis of their phylogenies. Feather lice and their avian hosts have previously been used as typical model systems for congruence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9167-9_21
Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular, apicomplexan parasite of great importance in both human and animal health. Current research has identified a variety of important and necessary factors specific to the parasite that enable it to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-021-07355-w
Abstract: Transitional zones, such as edge habitat, are key landscapes for investigating biodiversity. "Soft edges" are permeable corridors that hosts can cross, while "hard edges" are impermeable borders that hosts cannot pass. Although pathogen transmission in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-020-09816-3
Abstract: Although parasitism is one of the most prevalent interactions in nature, studies of aquatic food webs rarely include parasites. Syndiniales (Dinophyceae, Alveolata) is a diverse parasitic group of dinoflagellates, common in all marine environments, and… read more here.

Host–parasite coevolution: Backseat drivers take the wheel at the Red Queen’s race
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.025
Abstract: Defensive microbial symbionts are common in plants and animals, protecting their hosts against parasitic enemies. Rafaluk-Mohr et al. show that defensive microbes alter the trajectory of host-parasite coevolution, favouring the evolution of fundamentally different life-history responses to… read more here.
