Parasites make hosts more profitable but less available to predators

This study shows that Daphnia infected with DIV-1 are more profitable to predators due to higher energy content but less available due to reduced lifespan and mobility.

Once upon a time in the far south: Influence of local drivers and functional traits on plant invasion in the harsh sub-Antarctic islands

The paper investigates environmental and human factors influencing alien plant invasion in sub-Antarctic islands and identifies traits linked to invasiveness.

Spotlight on the monitoring of the invasion of a carabid beetle on an oceanic island over a 100 year period

This study tracks the 100-year invasion of the carabid beetle Merizodus soledadinus on the Kerguelen Islands, showing accelerated range expansion and ecological impact.

Sex makes them sleepy: host reproductive status induces diapause in a parasitoid population experiencing harsh winters

The paper shows that parasitoids from harsh winter areas enter diapause more frequently when developing in oviparous aphid hosts, indicating host reproductive status influences diapause induction.

The distinct phenotypic signatures of dispersal and stress in an arthropod model: from physiology to life history

The paper examines metabolic and life-history differences between dispersing and resident spider mites under stress, finding no interaction between dispersal and stress exposure.
