Here, we test the hypothesis that a caterpillar's host plant influences the identity of its parasitoid enemies and its probability of being parasitized. Our analysis includes a broad range of forest ...

Many animal species add their eggs to the brood of other species to benefit from the latter’s brood care. This is called brood parasitism. Researchers recently studied brood parasitism in two ...

Parasitism is a tight association between species in which one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside the host, causing it harm, and is structurally adapted to this way of life. Until the ...

As the planet’s most expansive ecosystem, the deep sea can be a tough place to find a mate. Though, scientists say, some deep-sea anglerfishes evolved a unique method of reproduction that ensures that ...

Members of the vertebrate group including anglerfishes are unique in possessing a characteristic known as sexual parasitism, in which males temporarily attach or permanently fuse with females to mate.

Historical introductions of species into new habitats can create rare opportunities to test evolutionary hypotheses, such as the role of natural selection in maintaining traits. This study examines ...

A study reveals that sexual parasitism helps deep-sea anglerfish adapt to dark, vast ocean depths, with potential insights for medical research on immune suppression. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Yale ...

To categorize the relationships mentioned, we can classify each one as mutualism or parasitism based on the benefits and harms involved: Parasitism and mutualism represent two distinct ecological ...
