Transmissible tumors in Hydra can manipulate host phenotype by inducing the growth of supernumerary tentacles, enhancing host foraging efficiency and promoting tumor vertical transmission, akin to manipulative parasites.
Tree diversity and canopy cover shape host-parasitoid communities and network structure through phylogenetic links in a species-rich forest ecosystems.
Little Swifts dynamically adjust their foraging behavior to aerial insect abundance, revealing key insights into predator–prey interactions and optimal foraging strategies in aerial environments.
