Parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in wild red deer

Adam Z. Hasik, Anna M. Hewett, Katie Maris, Sean J. Morris, Ali Morris, Gregory F. Albery, Josephine M. Pemberton

This study investigates parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in red deer, finding three pathways linking inbreeding to reduced fitness through parasitism.

Population density drives increased parasitism via greater exposure and reduced resource availability in wild hosts

Adam Z. Hasik, Shane Butt, Katie Maris, Sean J. Morris, Alison Morris, Richard S. Turner, Josephine M. Pemberton, Gregory F. Albery

This study shows that higher host population density increases parasite counts through both greater exposure and reduced resource availability in red deer.
