• Self-Organization and Collective Behavior in Vertebrates (2003, background): “…that the parasite may be manipulating the behavior of the host, resulting in its modifying the position of its host with respect to others within the group, to increase the chances of propagation of the parasite to its definitive host, the belted kingfisher, Megaceryle alcyon (Barber et al., 2000).”
• Effect of gyrodactylid ectoparasites on host behaviour and social network structure in guppies Poecilia reticulata (2011, background): “It is well documented that parasites can influence the behaviour of their hosts (see Barber et al. 2000 for a review) and that this may increase transmission opportunities (Moore 2002).”
• Some (worms) like it hot: fish parasites grow faster in warmer water, and alter host thermal preferences (2012, background): “Plerocercoid infections have well-documented effects on the behaviour of hosts that alter predator-prey interactions, facilitating parasite transmission (Barber et al., 2000) and potentially impacting important subsistence fisheries (Marshall & Cowx, 2003; Cowx et al.”
• Fish, climate and the Gulf Stream: the influence of abiotic factors on the recruitment success of cyprinid fishes in lowland rivers (2007, background): “In addition, parasites may influence recruitment indirectly via alterations in host growth, swimming ability, predation risk or behaviour ( Barber, Hoare & Krause, 2000 ).”
• Elaborate ornaments are costly to maintain: evidence for high maintenance handicaps (2005, background): “Birds, mammals, and insects spend considerable time engaged in maintenance behavior, such as grooming (Barber et al., 2000; Cotgreave and Clayton, 1994; Hart et al., 1992; Kovac, 1993; Murray, 1990; Tanaka and Takefushi, 1993).”
• Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, background): “Reduced swimming performance, another factor which is likely to significantly affect an individual’s relative compet- itive ability, is a common result of parasitism (Barber et al. 2000).”
• Use of bottom-mounted echo sounders in exploring behavior of mesopelagic fishes (2009, background): “…parts of a population can behave differently due to factors like age (Giske & Aksnes 1992), stored resources (Hays et al. 2001), hunger (Pearre 2003) or parasites (Barber et al. 2000), or because the population may consist of both risk seeking and risk averse individuals (Wolf et al. 2007).”
