Future water temperature changes may have a profound impact on fish-parasite interactions. However, while the effect of fish, and particularly salmonids, is well-understood, its combined effects with parasitic exposure are not. Here, we use multi-stage experimental approach to explore increased temperatures consistent persistent climate change-induced warming extreme thermal fluctuations from h...

The Arctic is rapidly warming and host-parasite relationships may be modified by such environmental changes. Here, I showed that the average winter temperature in Svalbard, Arctic Norway, explained almost 90% of the average prevalence of ticks in an Arctic seabird, the Brünnich's guillemot Uria lomvia. An increase of 1°C in the average winter temperature at the nesting colony site was associate...
