Is it stressful to be surrounded by infected individuals, even if you're not infected yourself? Might this even increase mortality (if others could have performed work but now won't)? Sounds plausible, but we don't have evidence from very many systems. Here's one! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

Endoparasite communities of New Zealand Penguins differ over time and among species doi.org/10.1007/s002...

Another paper was out in International Journal for Parasitology! We systematically reviewed the relationships between fish body condition and parasite infections, very common approach for elucidating negative impacts of parasites on host health

My first paper about microbiome in trematodes was out in Microbial Ecology!

The wait is over!! Our Open Access @springernature.com book on Aquatic Parasitology was just published! 23 Chapters, 202 illustrations & 662pp with everything you ever wanted to know about the amazing world of marine & freshwater parasites. @berndsures.bsky.social link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

xの投稿なのですが重要な件なので.. 私と共著論文もあるIさん、1年前に麻布大学助教の職を採用後わずか２ヶ月で辞職させられた経緯を公表しています。この件につき、大学側に再調査の依頼をしたが却下されたとのことで、ネットでの実名公表に踏み切られました。 x.com/legendofhotd...

Examining the correlation between body condition and parasite infections is a common approach for identifying the negative effects of parasites, but causality is unknown (parasites reduced body condition? poor body condition caused infections?)(continued).

Highly Threatened Status for the Relict Populations of Ectoparasitic Copepod Salmincola californiensis in Japan doi.org/10.1002/aqc....

Our paper on the highly threatened population status of the parasitic copepod #Salmincola californiensis has been published in Aquatic Conservation. My first paper on parasite conservation! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It was an exciting opportunity! Thanks!! @chenhuali.bsky.social
