Inferring sex-biased dispersal from population genetic tools: a review
Franck Prugnolle,T. De Meeûs +1 more
TL;DR: Different methods for inferring sex-specific dispersal using population genetic tools are described and the problems they can raise are discussed and the relative power of these methods is not well known and requires further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manipulation of host behaviour by parasites: ecosystem engineering in the intertidal zone?
TL;DR: It is shown that predation of limpets by anemones is possible when they share the same cockle shell, and the ecological consequences of this behavioural alteration for two invertebrates species commonly associated with cockles, the anemone Anthopleura aureoradiata and the limpet Notoacmea helmsi are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasitism as a constraint on the rate of life‐history evolution
TL;DR: It is argued that in the presence of a sufficiently virulent parasite the evolution of longer pre‐reproductive life‐spans should require the previous or concomitant evolution of morphological, behavioural or physiological resistance to parasitic infection and proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asexual reproduction: Genetics and evolutionary aspects
TL;DR: This review focuses on the role of asexual reproduction for eukaryotic organisms and how its integration in a life cycle can influence their population genetics and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasites and ecosystem engineering : what roles could they play?
TL;DR: This paper argues that parasites, through the phenotypic alterations they induce in their hosts, are likely to be involved in engineering processes for at least two reasons: when ecosystem engineers are themselves infected, phenotypesic alterations induced by parasites can interfere with host traits involved in the engineering processes.
