Worms of change: anthropogenic disturbance changes the ectoparasite community structure of Lake Victoria cichlids

T. P. Gobbin, M. Van Steenberge, N. Vranken, M. P. M. Vanhove

The paper examines how anthropogenic disturbances affect ectoparasite communities in Lake Victoria cichlids, finding reduced parasite diversity and stability.

Host lifestyle and parasite interspecific facilitation mediate co-infection in a species-poor host-parasite system

N. Kmentova, A. J. Cruz-Laufer, L. Milec, T. Moons, S. Heeren, E. van den Hoorn, K. J. M. Thys, L. Makasa, A. Chocha Manda, P. Masilya Mulungula, M. Van Steenberge, M. Jorissen, M. P. M. Vanhove

The paper studies co-infection dynamics in a simple host-parasite system, finding that parasite distribution and infection patterns depend on host mobility, lifestyle changes, and interspecific parasite interactions.

Intraspecific diversification and mitonuclear discordance in native versus introduced areas: co-introduction of Dolicirroplectanum lacustre, a monogenean gill parasite of the invasive Nile perch Lates niloticus

K. J. M. Thys, M. P. M. Vanhove, J. W. J. Custers, N. Vranken, M. Van Steenberge, N. Kmentova

The paper examines morphological and genetic diversity of Dolicirroplectanum lacustre in native and introduced ranges, finding reduced diversity in Lake Victoria due to founder effects.

The initial response of females towards congeneric males matches the propensity to hybridise in Ophthalmotilapia.

M. Van Steenberge, N. Jublier, L. Kever, S. Gresham, S. Derycke, J. Snoeks, E. Parmentier, P. Poncin, E. Verheyen

This study shows that differences in species recognition between two cichlid species predict hybridization propensity, as O. nasuta females respond differently to conspecific and heterospecific males compared to O. ventralis females.

Somewhere I belong: phylogeny and morphological evolution in a species-rich lineage of ectoparasitic flatworms infecting cichlid fishes

A. J. Cruz-Laufer, A. Pariselle, M. W. P. Jorissen, F. Muterezi Bukinga, A. Al Assadi, M. Van Steenberge, S. Koblmueller, C. Sturmbauer, K. Smeets, T. Artois, M. P. M. Vanhove

The paper uses molecular, morphological, and host data to analyze phylogeny and evolution in a lineage of flatworms infecting cichlid fishes, finding that discrete characters can mask signals but are key for species grouping.
