Parasites and size-assortative schooling in three-spined sticklebacks
Recent field studies carried out in lacustrine environments have suggested that fish schools may be assorted with respect to parasite infections, but the generality and strength of parasite-assortative schooling in fish is unclear. In this study, data are presented on the body size and externally visible macroparasite load of 366 individual three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (G...
متن کاملIn vitro leukocyte response of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to helminth parasite antigens.
Helminth parasites of teleost fish have evolved strategies to evade and manipulate the immune responses of their hosts. Responsiveness of fish host immunity to helminth antigens may therefore vary depending on the degree of host-parasite counter-adaptation. Generalist parasites, infective for a number of host species, might be unable to adapt optimally to the immune system of a certain host spe...
متن کاملUV wavelengths affect female mate choice in three-spined sticklebacks
Recent behavioural studies on fish have emphasized the role of ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths in mate choice. We performed female mate choice experiments, focusing on the UV wavelength range, with the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, a species in which the role of visually guided behaviour in the human-visible wavelength range (400–700 nm) has been well studied. Ripe female stick...
متن کاملThe role of social attraction and its link with boldness in the collective movements of three-spined sticklebacks
Social animals must time and coordinate their behaviour to ensure the benefits of grouping, resulting in collective movements and the potential emergence of leaders and followers. However, individuals often differ consistently from one another in how they cope with their environment, a phenomenon known as animal personality, which may affect how individuals use coordination rules and requiring ...
متن کاملParasite burdens differ between sympatric three-spined stickleback species
The ecological theory of adaptive radiation states that differences in ecological circumstances among local populations are the cause of divergence that leads to speciation. The role of parasites in contributing to divergence has seldom been considered, despite their ubiquity and known selective effects. The potential for parasites to contribute to divergence between closely related taxa was ex...
