Virulence, cultivating conditions, and phylogenetic analyses of oomycete parasites in DaphniaJ Wolinska
Indiana University, Department of Biology, 1001 East 3rd Street, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, USA
Parasitology 135:1667-78. 2008..Moreover, their close phylogenetic relationship to parasites of fish and algae suggests that the stability of aquatic food webs (i.e. fish-Daphnia-algae) might be influenced by the shared parasite communities...
The cost of being common: evidence from natural Daphnia populationsJustyna Wolinska
Indiana University, Department of Biology, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, USA
Evolution 63:1893-901. 2009..These results strongly suggest that Red Queen dynamics do operate in the wild...
Environment can alter selection in host-parasite interactionsJustyna Wolinska
Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Grosshaderner Str 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
Trends Parasitol 25:236-44. 2009..Because most host-parasite interactions exist in heterogeneous environments, we argue that there is a need to incorporate fluctuating environments into future empirical and theoretical work on host-parasite coevolution...
Molecular identification and hidden diversity of novel Daphnia parasites from European lakesJustyna Wolinska
Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Grosshaderner Str 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 75:7051-9. 2009..Moreover, a higher level of resolution for identifying parasite strains makes it possible to test new hypotheses with respect to parasite dispersal, transmission routes, and coinfection...
Transmission mode affects the population genetic structure of Daphnia parasitesJ Wolinska
Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, Munchen, Germany
J Evol Biol 24:265-73. 2011..This all implies a higher amount of gene flow for Berwaldia, consistent with the hypothesized transmission mode...
Fine-scale temporal and spatial variation of taxon and clonal structure in the Daphnia longispina hybrid complex in heterogeneous environmentsMingbo Yin
Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Grosshaderner Str, 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
BMC Evol Biol 12:12. 2012..galeata and D. longispina) and their interspecific hybrids. The study took place during the transition from summer stratification to autumn mixing, representing a period of major environmental change within lake habitats...
A Daphnia parasite (Caullerya mesnili) constitutes a new member of the Ichthyosporea, a group of protists near the animal-fungi divergenceJennifer N Lohr
Department Biologie II, Ludwig Maximilians Universitat Munchen, Evolutionsökologie, Planegg Martinsried, Germany
J Eukaryot Microbiol 57:328-36. 2010..This high selection pressure placed on hosts supports the importance of C. mesnili as a model parasite for the study of host-parasite biology in permanent lakes...
Predator-induced defense makes Daphnia more vulnerable to parasitesMingbo Yin
Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Department Biology II, Grosshaderner Str 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
Evolution 65:1482-8. 2011..Thus, by demonstrating a previously unknown and environmentally relevant cost to inducible defenses, this study enhances our understanding of adaptive phenotypic plasticity and its evolution...
Fine-scale genetic analysis of Daphnia host populations infected by two virulent parasites - strong fluctuations in clonal structure at small temporal and spatial scalesMingbo Yin
Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Großhaderner Str 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
Int J Parasitol 42:115-21. 2012..Thus, parasite-driven selection operates in natural Daphnia populations and microparasites influence the clonal structure of host populations...
Parasites in hybridizing communities: the red queen again?Justyna Wolinska
Indiana University, Department of Biology, 1001 East Third Street, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA
Trends Parasitol 24:121-6. 2008..However, coevolutionary oscillations generated by frequency-dependent selection might provide a better explanation for the observed results than does a static genetic perspective of host resistance...
Prior residency does not always pay off--co-infections in DaphniaJennifer N Lohr
Ludwig Maximilians Universitat Munchen, Department Biologie II, Evolutionsökologie, Grosshaderner Strasse 2, D 82152 Planegg Martinsried, Germany
Parasitology 137:1493-500. 2010..experienced a decline in fitness. Our results show that multiple-species co-infections of Daphnia may be more virulent than single infections, and that prior residency does not always provide a competitive advantage...
Fighting parasites and predators: how to deal with multiple threats?Olivia Hesse
Department of Biology II, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Planegg Martinsried, Germany
BMC Ecol 12:12. 2012..to determine how life history and morphological inducible defences against these two contrasting types of predators are affected by infection...
