Linking partial migration to endo- and ectoparasite infection of collared and uncollared elk (Cervus canadensis)
DownloadFall 2019
Ungulate ecology studies can focus on forage-predation interactions, but parasites also can have significant impacts on body condition, fecundity, and survival in ungulates. The effects of migration on parasite exposure are not well understood, but exposure may differ on allopatric summer ranges....

Past, present, and future: Non-consumptive effects of the ectoparasitic mite Macrocheles subbadius on adult and larval Drosophila nigrospiracula
DownloadFall 2024
Parasites can indirectly impact hosts through non-consumptive effects (NCEs) via changes in behaviour, morphology, and/or physiology. These responses can be understood in terms of the ecology of fear framework. My study system involves a cactophilic fruit fly (Drosophila nigrospiracula) and a...
