What happens when a 🐠 moves to a new neighbourhood? It leaves its parasites behind! ✌️🐛
Our paper on Psalidodon bifasciatus shows how "enemy release" (having fewer parasites) suggests human-mediated introduction in a 🇧🇷 basin. doi.org/10.1017/S002...

Our latest paper in Biol Rev. Parasites are vital parts of ecosystems. Because we lack long-term data, we still don't know how human-driven environmental change is affecting their diversity. Better, sustained monitoring is needed. doi.org/10.1002/brv.... @impact-parasites.bsky.social 🧪
Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns
Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem ...
