• No uniform associations between parasite prevalence and environmental nutrients 

  Aalto, Sanni L.; Ketola, Tarmo; Pulkkinen, Katja (Ecological Society of America, 2014)

  The resource quality of the host has been shown to affect parasite transmission success, prevalence, and virulence. Seasonal availability of environmental nutrients alters density and stoichiometric quality (carbon–nutrient ...

• Interactions between two parasites of brown trout (Salmo trutta) : Consequences of preinfection 

  Gopko, Mikhail; Chowdhury, Motiur; Taskinen, Jouni (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)

  Preinfection by one parasitic species may facilitate or by contrast hamper the subsequent penetration and/or establishment of other parasites in a host. The biology of interacting species, timing of preinfection, and dosage ...

• Spatiotemporal and gender-specific parasitism in two species of gobiid fish 

  Karvonen, Anssi; Lindström, Kai (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)

  Parasitism is considered a major selective force in natural host populations. Infections can decrease host condition and vigour, and potentially influence, for example, host population dynamics and behavior such as mate ...

• Differences in parasite community composition support ecological differentiation in a freshwater gadoid fish 

  Karvonen, Anssi; Horppila, Petteri; Kuitunen, Jere; Miettinen, Miikka; Ryynänen, Lauri; Marjomäki, Timo J. (John Wiley & Sons, 2022)

  Several northern freshwater fishes have gone through rapid adaptive radiation after the last glacial period, resulting in new species or intraspecific morphs with distinct life histories. Parasite infections can promote ...

• Influence of body size and environmental conditions on parasite assemblages of the black-spotted croaker (Protonibea diacanthus) (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) in northern Australia 

  Porter, Megan; Barton, Diane P.; Williams, Joel; Randall, Jo; Ovaskainen, Otso; Crook, David A.; Shamsi, Shokoofeh (Cambridge University Press, 2024)

  The functioning and richness of marine systems (and biological interactions such as parasitism) are continuously influenced by a changing environment. Using hierarchical modelling of species communities (HMSC), the presence ...
