The legacy of past heatwaves on 'off-host' parasite stages: Reduced infection risk and costs in the Daphnia-Pasteuria system

The study examines how heatwaves affect the infectivity and host response to Pasteuria ramosa spores, finding reduced infectivity and genotype-specific host effects.

Consequences of Cancer on Zebrafish Danio rerio: Insights into Sex Determination, Sex Ratio, and Offspring Survival.

This study investigates whether cancer in zebrafish affects offspring sex ratio and survival, finding no effect on sex ratio but higher offspring survival from cancerous females.

De novo evolution of transmissible tumors in Hydra

This study observes the de novo evolution of transmissible tumors in Hydra through artificial selection and characterizes their biological features and host impacts.

First evidence for the evolution of host manipulation by tumors during the long-term vertical transmission of tumor cells in Hydra oligactis

The paper shows that transmissible tumors in Hydra oligactis can manipulate host phenotype by increasing tentacle numbers, enhancing foraging and vertical transmission.
