Nematode Parasitism of Orthopterans in Relation to Grassland Age and Host Species Lindsey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Orthopterans are important grassland herbivores and therefore affect plant diversity. They are in turn consumed by many other animals that depend on them for survival. If a significant proportion of these orthopterans are being parasitized it could drastically change the grassland habitat. If certain species of orthopterans have high infection rates or are parasitized by particularly deadly parasite species, this could affect orthopteran species composition.

The evolution of parasitism in Nematoda
Nematodes are abundant and diverse, and include many parasitic species. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have shown that parasitism of plants and animals has arisen at least 15 times independently. Extant nematode species also display lifestyles that are proposed to be on the evolutionary trajectory to parasitism. Recent advances have permitted the determination of the genomes and transcriptomes...
متن کاملHost-parasite Relationships of the Brown-headed Cowbird in a Prairie Habitat of West-central Kansas
The parasitic nature of the Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) is believed to have developed as a result of its association with the bison (Bison bison). Cowbirds subsisted on insects flushed by herds of bison, however, the nomadic nature of the bison made it impossible for cowbirds to remain with the herd and simultaneously perform nesting activities. Theoretically the evolution of parasiti...
متن کاملParasitism underground: determinants of helminth infections in two species of subterranean rodents (Octodontidae).
Patterns of infection among hosts in a population are often driven by intrinsic host features such as age or sex, as well as by positive or negative interactions between parasite species. We investigated helminth parasitism in 2 South American rodent species, Ctenomys australis and C. talarum (Octodontidae), to determine whether the unusual solitary and subterranean nature of these hosts would ...
متن کاملParasite co-infection and interaction as drivers of host heterogeneity.
We examined the hypothesis that the interaction between concomitant infecting parasites modifies host susceptibility, parasite intensity and the pattern of parasite distribution within the host population. We used a 26 year time series of three common parasites in a natural population of rabbits: two gastrointestinal nematodes (Trichostrongylus retortaeformis and Graphidium strigosum) and the i...
متن کاملSex and age-biased nematode prevalence in reptiles.
Prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections are often higher in male than in female vertebrates. This bias may represent either differences between host sex in exposure or susceptibility to parasites. The former may be due to sex-specific behaviour of the host, including differential habitat use or diet. Differences in susceptibility are often regarded as a negative effect of male sex ster...
