The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Cyclical Parthenogenesis in Daphnia: Sexual Versus Asexual Reproduction (2009, background): “Seasonal changes in temperature and predation alter the interaction between Daphnia and parasites such that differences in temperature and predation pressure will change parasite mediated selection, resulting in the maintenance of genetic variation of the traits involved (Mitchell et al. 2004, 2005;”
Parasites in food webs: the ultimate missing links (2008, background): “Selective predation on heavily parasitized prey can exacerbate this effect by removing highly infectious hosts from the population (increasing a), provided the parasites die along with their hosts (Duffy et al. 2005).”
Ecology, Epidemiology, and Evolution of Parasitism in Daphnia (2005, background): “The most virulent Daphnia parasites have been indeed described from habitats with planktivorous fish (Bittner 2001; Wolinska et al. 2004; Duffy et al. 2005).”
Discovery of dark matter fungi in aquatic ecosystems demands a reappraisal of the phylogeny and ecology of zoosporic fungi (2016, unknown): “To predict the complex disease dynamics and tri-trophic interactions (host/ chytrid/zooplankton), experimental manipulation and modeling approaches are required (Miki et al., 2011; Duffy et al., 2005).”
