Exploring Gene Expression Patterns and Evolutionary Responses in Host-Parasite inteactions: Insights from the Schistocephalus solidus - Threespine stickleback System

A. M. Wohlleben, J. F. Tabima, N. P. Meyer, N. C. Steinel

The paper examines gene expression differences in immune tissues of two stickleback populations in response to Schistocephalus solidus infection, revealing divergent immune responses and parasite manipulation.

Evolution of a costly immunity to cestode parasites is a pyrrhic victory

J. N. Weber, N. C. Steinel, F. Peng, K. C. Shim, B. K. Lohman, L. Fuess, S. De Lisle, D. I. Bolnick

The paper shows that freshwater stickleback populations evolved resistance to tapeworms through fibrosis, but this resistance reduced fecundity, leading to selection for a tolerant strategy with fibrosis suppression.

Immune gene expression covaries with gut microbiome composition in stickleback

L. E. Fuess, S. Den Haan, F. Ling, J. N. Weber, N. C. Steinel, D. I. Bolnick

The paper examines correlations between immune gene expression and gut microbiome composition in stickleback fish, identifying microbial families linked to immune processes.

A test of the Baldwin Effect: Differences in both constitutive expression and inducible responses to parasites underlie variation in host response to a parasite

L. E. Fuess, J. N. Weber, S. den Haan, N. C. Steinel, K. C. Shim, D. I. Bolnick

This study tests the Baldwin Effect in stickleback fish resistance to a parasite, finding no support for the effect but highlighting the role of constitutive and inducible gene expression variation in host-parasite interactions.

Recent evolution of cestode growth suppression by threespine stickleback

J. N. Weber, N. C. Steinel, K. C. Shim, D. I. Bolnick

This study shows threespine stickleback evolved heritable differences in suppressing cestode growth, with low-infection populations dramatically reducing parasite size compared to high-infection populations.
