This study shows maternal effects on offspring fitness traits depend on environmental complexity and the specific trait, not just environmental matching.

The paper shows that food availability non-linearly affects host and pathogen traits in a Daphnia magna-Ordospora colligata system, with host fecundity increasing and virulence peaking at intermediate resource levels.

This study investigates how heatwave duration and predictability affect host-parasite interactions under different mean temperature conditions, finding parasite-specific responses to thermal variability.

This study examines whether early warning signals can predict warming-induced epidemics in Daphnia magna-Ordospora colligata and finds they are not reliable indicators.

This study examines how heatwaves and cold snaps affect host-parasite dynamics in Daphnia magna and Ordospora colligata, showing temperature-dependent changes in parasite burden and host population size.

The paper identifies four QTLs associated with resistance to a microsporidian parasite in Daphnia magna and links two of them to previously identified selected regions.
