Abstract: Early growth conditions can have profound impacts on individuals’ development, growth and physiology, with subsequent long-term consequences for individuals’ fitness and life expectancy. Telomere length (TL) has been suggested to indicate both individual fitness and… read more here.

Variations in infection levels and parasite-induced mortality among sympatric cryptic lineages of native amphipods and a congeneric invasive species: Are native hosts always losing?

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2017.04.005
Abstract: Shared parasites can strongly influence the outcome of competition between congeneric, sympatric hosts, and thus host population dynamics. Parasite-mediated competition is commonly hypothesized as an important factor in biological invasion success; invasive species often experience… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2024.1966
Abstract: Settlement patterns of juvenile fish shape coral reef communities. During the recruitment process, predation rates are extremely high. However, the role that parental care plays in reducing mortality, especially by cryptic natural enemies such as… read more here.
