Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection
relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing evolutionary …

Models of host‐parasite coevolution assume the presence of genetic variation for host
resistance and parasite infectivity, as well as genotype‐specific interactions. We used the …

Parasites are thought to maximize the number of successfully transmitted offspring by trading
off propagule production against host survival. In a horizontally transmitted microparasitic …

BACKGROUND: Dual frontolimbic brain pathology has been suggested as a possible correlate
of impulsivity and aggressive behavior. One previous study reported volume loss of the …

Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental
populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach is …

Antagonistic interactions between hosts and parasites are a key structuring force in natural
populations, driving coevolution 1 , 2 . However, direct empirical evidence of long-term host–…

Serial passage experiments are a form of experimental evolution that is frequently used in
applied sciences; for example, in vaccine development. During these experiments, molecular …

This chapter provides an overview of the biology of waterfleas of the genus Daphnia. It
describes basic aspects of individual physiology and nutrition, including some remarks about …

Evolutionary ecology has developed along two major conceptual avenues, starting from the
observation that hosts vary in their immune defence against parasites The first avenue, …

In clinical practice many adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ask
for an additional psychotherapeutic intervention besides the medical therapy. In this paper …
