Assessing planktivorous fish as vectors of a plankton parasite

Nikolaos Dimitrios Lampadaridis, Carlos Manuel Herrera-Castillo, Dieter Ebert

This study shows that stickleback fish can transmit the parasite Pasteuria ramosa to its Daphnia host, contradicting the idea that predators reduce parasite prevalence.

Carlos Manuel Herrera-Castillo, Tanja Brechbühl, Antoine Fages, Andrew D. C. MacColl, Laura L. Dean, Patrick Tschopp, Daniel Berner

This study identifies cis-regulatory changes in the hoxdb gene cluster as the mechanism underlying parallel evolution of dorsal spine reduction in threespine stickleback fish.
