  1. Evolution of parasitism along convergent lines: from ecology to

    The shared transmission and host exploitation strategies characterizing unrelated parasites are the outcome of convergent evolution, one of the most pervasive patterns seen in nature. Although many combinations of traits are theoretically possible, most are maladaptive, and selection forces distinct lineages to converge on those few viable ...

  2. Parasite Evolution and Life History Theory

    Some recent papers, including the study of Babayan et al. in this issue of PloS Biology [4], apply results from one branch of evolutionary theory—life history theory—to the characteristics of pathogens of medical interest such as parasitic roundworms (nematodes) and malaria [5]. Babayan et al. propose that the life history of parasitic ...

  3. Evolution of parasites in the Anthropocene: new pressures, new adaptive

    For parasites, long-term multi-generational selection experiments are actually possible over short timescales, given the typically short generation times of most parasitic taxa. Strong artificial selection can lead to noticeable phenotypic evolution in metazoan parasites after only a handful of generations (Hafer-Hahmann, 2019; Benesh, 2023).

  5. Evolution: Causality and the Origin of Parasitism

    Two alternative ways to interpret the characteristics of parasites and how they relate to the origin of parasitism. On the top, a characteristic evolves as an adaptation to the existence of a parasitic interaction. On the bottom, the characteristic evolves in a free-living organism, but its existence makes the transition to parasitic life more ...

  6. The evolution of parasite genomes and the origins of parasitism

    Certainly, this is the impression given by biology teaching or the balance of research effort. In fact, it is just conceivable that parasites are more numerous than non-parasites (Dobson et al. 2008), ... Genomics has the potential to describe the evolution of parasitism in terms of genes gained and lost, whereas transcriptomics and proteomics ...

  9. PDF The evolution of parasitism in Nematoda

    The sole enoplian animal parasite, Ironus macrocephalum (Ironidae), was described from the earthworm Pheretima wendessiana in New Guinea (Pierantoni, 1916). Other Ironidae are freshwater species. There are some striking phylogenetic associations between non-vertebrate and vertebrate parasites.

  10. The evolution of parasitism in plants

    Parasites provide a framework for understanding specialization. Parasitism is a highly successful life strategy and a theme that bridges all kingdoms of life [1].The high selection pressure associated with host co-evolution can drive a parasite's morphology and physiology in new directions, making parasites valuable subjects for studying diversification and the evolution of phenotypic changes ...

  11. Experimental Evolution of Parasites

    Abstract. 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 and phenotypic evolution can be monitored in real time, providing insights into the causes and consequences of parasite evolution.

  13. The genomes of four tapeworm species reveal adaptations to parasitism

    The 115- to 141-megabase genomes offer insights into the evolution of parasitism. Synteny is maintained with distantly related blood flukes but we find extreme losses of genes and pathways that ...

  14. The evolution of parasite genomes and the origins of parasitism

    From the 19th century birth of evolutionary biology until well into the 20th century, parasites were seen as biologically degenerate, ecologically marginal and evolutionarily anomalous. The first generation of evolutionary thinkers retained a belief that evolution was progressive and tending towards perfection.

  15. The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode

    Introduction. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are devastating crop parasites which present a considerable threat to global food security. Every major crop can be parasitised by at least one species of nematode, with collective damage estimated at over 80 billion dollars worldwide [].The most damaging nematode species are those capable of forming intimate, long-term biotrophic relationships ...

    A common red algal origin of the apicomplexan, dinoflagellate, and heterokont plastids. Factors mediating plastid dependency and the origins of parasitism in apicomplexans and their close relatives. Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites.

    Their landmark paper spawned an entire research enterprise lasting to this day, ... 1982 published a seminal paper proposing parasites as central players in the evolution of mate choice and secondary sexual characteristics such as the peacock's tail. Their hypothesis assumes that females choose to mate with males of the highest genetic ...

  22. The coevolutionary biology of brood parasitism: a call for integration

    Brood parasitism can also occur within a species, where one female exploits the efforts of a conspecific , or it can be facultative across species; however, the research in this special issue focuses on obligate parasites, because these have the most potential to influence the evolution of another species.

    Parasitic plants represent a unique model for the evolution of intra-kingdom parasitism with intriguing research questions such as how plants were able to evolve the ability to parasitize other plants. This parasitic lifestyle required the evolution of host detection, host attachment, host exploitation, and host defense suppression strategies.

  26. The historical evolution and research trends of life cycle assessment

    Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool used to assess the potential environmental impacts and resources utilized throughout a product's life cycle (cradle to grave or in linear economic models or a "cradle to cradle" life cycle in circular economy models), i.e., from raw material acquisition, via production, use phases, and waste management, to the recycling stage [1], [2].
