“…In New Zealand and Australia short-finned and long-finned eels (Anguilla australis and A. dieffenbachii), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and bullies (Gobiocloneus spp.) have been reported to consume NZ mudsnails, but it is unclear if these accounts represent actual targeted feeding behavior or if individuals found in stomach samples were accidentally ingested with other prey (Burnet 1969, Cadwallader 1975, McDowall 1991, Levri 1998. There is no strong evidence that predators control populations in New Zealand (Nyström and McIntosh 2003) It has been suggested that North American Ostariophysine fish (Catostomidae and Cyprinidae), which posses pharyngeal teeth, may be capable of consuming and crushing the shell of this species.…”

“…For example, parasites that require more than one host to complete their life cycle may cause changes in host behaviours that increase exposure to predators and heighten the chance of transmission to the final host [1][2][3]. Parasite-induced behaviours may also promote predator evasion responses of hosts [4] to avoid either premature transmission or death [1,5]. This sets up the potential for coevolution of parasite manipulation and host resistance traits [6][7][8].…”

Parasitoid wasps influence where aphids die via an interspecific indirect genetic effect

Host-parasite interactions are a key paradigm for understanding the process of coevolution. Central to coevolution is how genetic variation in interacting species allows parasites to evolve manipulative strategies. However, genetic variation in the parasite may also be associated with host phenotype changes, thereby changing the selection on both species. For instance, parasites often induce changes in the behaviour of their host to maximize their own fitness, yet the quantitative genetic basis for behavioural manipulation has not been fully demonstrated. Here, we show that the genotype of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius ervi has a significant effect on where its aphid host Acyrthosiphon pisum moves to die following parasitism, including the likelihood that the aphid abandons the plant. These results provide a clear example of an interspecific indirect genetic effect whereby the genetics of one species influences the expression of a specific behavioural trait in another.

SummaryAmong the different strategies used by parasites to usurp the behaviour of their host, one of the most fascinating is bodyguard manipulation. While all classic examples of bodyguard manipulation involve insect parasitoids, induced protective behaviours have also evolved in other parasite-host systems, typically as specific dimensions of the total manipulation. For instance, parasites may manipulate the host to reduce host mortality during their development or to avoid predation by non-host predators. This type of host manipulation behaviour is rarely described, probably due to the fact that studies have mainly focused on predation enhancement rather than studying all the dimensions of the manipulation. Here, in addition to the classic cases of bodyguard manipulation, we also review these ʻbodyguard dimensionsʼ and propose extending the current definition of bodyguard manipulation to include the latter. We also discuss different evolutionary scenarios under which such manipulations could have evolved.
