Comparing host and parasite phylogenies: gyrodactylus flatworms jumping from goby to goby.
The combination of exceptionally high species diversity, high host specificity, and a complex reproduction system raises many questions about the underlying mechanisms triggering speciation in the flatworm genus Gyrodactylus. The coevolutionary history with their goby hosts was investigated using both topology- and distance-based approaches; phylogenies were constructed of the V4 region of the ...
متن کاملGetting What Is Served? Feeding Ecology Influencing Parasite-Host Interactions in Invasive Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus
Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by alien invasive species which have the potential to alter various ecological interactions like predator-prey and host-parasite relationships. Here, we simultaneously examined predator-prey interactions and parasitization patterns of the highly invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in the rivers Rhine and Main in Germany. A total of 350 N....
متن کاملComputational aspects of host-parasite phylogenies
Computational aspects of host-parasite phylogenies form part of a set of general associations between areas and organisms, hosts and parasites, and species and genes. The problem is not new and the commonalities of exploring vicariance biogeography (organisms tracking areas) and host-parasite co-speciation (parasites tracking hosts) have been recognised for some time. Methods for comparing host...
متن کاملAltered Prey Responses in Round Goby from Contaminated Sites
Although prey must move to forage, escape predation or gain information about predation risk, movement itself enhances the risk of predation by increasing visibility of prey and encounter rates with predators. Animals subjected to stressors often show altered behaviour; a widely cited effect of contaminant exposure is an increase in vulnerability to predation, which may be mediated by an increa...
متن کاملA new barbeled goby from south China (Teleostei: Gobiidae).
A new goby species Tridentiger radiatus sp. nov. is described from Zhuhai, Guangdong Province of China. The new species, found in sympatry with a widely distributed barbeled congener Tridentiger barbatus (Günther, 1861), is one of the only two Tridentiger species known to possess mandibular and cheek barbels. Tridentiger radiatus is diagnosed by having higher longitudinal and transverse scale c...
