    • Cercariae of a Bird Schistosome Follow a Similar Emergence Pattern under Different Subarctic Conditions: First Experimental Study 

      Soldánová, Miroslava; Born-Torrijos, Ana; Kristoffersen, Roar; Knudsen, Rune; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Scholz, Tomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-03)
      The emergence of cercariae from infected mollusks is considered one of the most important adaptive strategies for maintaining the trematode life cycle. Short transmission opportunities of cercariae are often compensated by periodic daily rhythms in the cercarial release. However, there are virtually no data on the cercarial emergence of bird schistosomes from freshwater ecosystems in northern ...

    • Cercarial behaviour alters the consumer functional response of three-spined sticklebacks 

      Born-Torrijos, Ana; Paterson, Rachel; van Beest, Gabrielle; Vyhlídalová, Tereza; Henriksen, Eirik Haugstvedt; Knudsen, Rune; Kristoffersen, Roar; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Soldánová, Miroslava (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-22)
      <ol> <li>Free-living parasite life stages may contribute substantially to ecosystem biomass and thus represent a significant source of energy flow when consumed by non-host organisms. However, ambient temperature and the predator's own infection status may modulate consumption rates towards parasite prey.</li> <li>We investigated the combined effects of temperature and predator infection status ...

    • Taxa-specific activity loss and mortality patterns in freshwater trematode cercariae under subarctic conditions 

      Born-Torrijos, Ana; Van Beest, Gabrielle S.; Vyhlídalová, Tereza; Knudsen, Rune; Kristoffersen, Roar; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Thieltges, David W.; Soldánová, Miroslava (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-11)
      Cercarial activity and survival are crucial traits for the transmission of trematodes. Temperature is particularly important, as faster depletion of limited cercarial energy reserves occurs at high temperatures. Seasonal climate conditions in high latitude regions may be challenging to complete trematode life cycle during the 6-month ice-free period, but temperature effects on the activity and ...

    • Temperature does not influence functional response of amphipods consuming different trematode prey 

      Born-Torrijos, Ana; Paterson, Rachel; van Beest, Gabrielle; Schwelm, Jessica; Vyhlídalová, Tereza; Henriksen, Eirik Haugstvedt; Knudsen, Rune; Kristoffersen, Roar; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Soldánová, Miroslava (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-26)
      Direct consumption on free-living cercariae stages of trematodes by non-host organisms interferes with trematode transmission and leads to reduced infections in the next suitable hosts. Consumer functional responses provide a useful tool to examine relationships between consumption rates and ecologically relevant prey densities, whilst also accounting for abiotic factors that likely influence ...
