Although this so-called arms race between host defense and parasite virulence can h ave direct implications for host fecundity and survival\, current research shows that parasitic infections can also change host behavioral and physi ological traits. Hosts face multiple threats at any give time. Other natur al enemies like predators and competitors can also reduce host survival. T hus\, host-parasite adaptations may not only influence non-host species\, but may\, at the same\, be influenced by their interaction with other natu ral enemies. The role of parasites modulating multi-species interactions h as received increased attention in recent years\, yet the majority of exam ples come from single case studies. The aim of this dissertation is to fil l this gap by using a model organism in evolutionary biology: the Trinidad ian guppy.\n\nEveryone in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
