“…Although our data do not allow us to unequivocally conclude that the behaviors of infected cane toads have evolved via parasite‐induced manipulation, the evidence is as strong as that often used to infer adaptation (Pérez‐Jvostov, Hendry, Fussmann, & Scott, ; Sternberg, Li, Wang, Gowler, & de Roode, ). That is, infection with R. pseudosphaerocephala causes behavioral shifts in the host , in ways that apparently enhance the survival, transmission, and reproductive output of the parasite.…”

“…Perhaps other parasites (or entire parasite communities) would have stronger effects (Rigaud et al ., ). And yet, plenty of prior evidence exists to suspect that Gyrodactylus is an important agent of mortality and morbidity (Scott & Anderson, ; Cable & Van Oosterhout, ; Pérez‐Jvostov et al ., ) to which guppies evolve resistance (Scott & Anderson, ; Cable & Van Oosterhout, ; Dargent et al ., ; Pérez‐Jvostov et al ., ). It is however possible that other behaviours not measured here are more important for parasite avoidance, such as exploration, or the ability to discriminate and avoid infected conspecifics from healthy conspecifics (e.g.…”

“…parasite ‘regime’) appears to be very consistent (Gotanda et al ., ). Gyrodactylus parasites have strong effects on guppy survival, growth and reproduction (Scott & Anderson, ; van Oosterhout et al ., ; Gotanda et al ., ; Pérez‐Jvostov et al ., , ; Dargent et al ., , ), and guppies show corresponding evolutionary responses in resistance (Scott & Anderson, ; Dargent et al ., ; Pérez‐Jvostov et al ., ) and MHC diversity (van Oosterhout et al ., ; Fraser & Neff, ). Of particular relevance to our study, Gyrodactylus infection influences, and is influenced by, various aspects of behaviour.…”

“…This choice was made for two reasons. First, guppies showed conserved resistance differences among populations when infected with different Gyrodactylus strains (Cable & van Oosterhout, ; Pérez‐Jvostov et al ., ); second, it avoided the possibility that host–parasite co‐evolutionary dynamics, happening exclusively in the source population would influence our results. The benchmark parasites we used were an isogenic strain isolated from – and propagated on – local (Montreal, Canada) pet store guppies.…”
