Gangrene gets a bad press but at least its intention is honest!
That unlike the righteous wealthy traders & cheer leaders of of slavery.
Slavery is like slowly eating people alive, but not often allowing them to die.
In hindsight, they shouldn't have come here if they had any plans on leaving. Not that they'll have any of those thoughts in a few moments~

Parasitic Relationships: Trapped in time
Analysis of specimens preserved in amber from the Cretaceous period suggests that nematodes changed their host preference towards insects with a complete metamorphosis more recently.

"Dodds ... said there was a long history in #Wales of its raw resources being taken for use in England while local people experienced no benefit, with the drowning of Capel Celyn being one of the most notable examples. “These latest plans ... risk repeating the mistakes of the past,” Dodds said."
Speaking of things that seem awfully familiar...

Parasite-induced shell damage in brachiopod Porambonites (Porambonites) laticaudata from the Late #Ordovician (Sandbian) of #Estonia
https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2023.23
The pits in the shell margin are most likely caused by the presence of symbionts which benefitted from inhalant currents and caused damage to the host #brachiopod. This is consistent with #parasitism rather than previously know damage linked with failed attacks by durophagous #predators.

Our new study is available #OpenAccess in Freshwater Biology ! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/fwb.14068
This is Wolinska Lab's second publication on the topic of #nanoplastics and #parasitism in #Daphnia; see also Manzi, Schlösser et al. (https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0013), which was published last month.

#MiteMonday: from back in June, an aphid parasitized by at least four (4) larval mites, probably family Trombidiidae or Erythraeidae. These mites grow up to be free-living predators and scavengers.

@marina_gorbunova @marina_gorbunova @nev @mendel Added 7 ovipositing Trigonalidae #wasp #iNaturalist observations.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&project_id=ovipositing-insects&subview=map&taxon_id=343418
Trigonalids have an incredible life history where they lay thousands of eggs in or on leaves and these must be ingested by a caterpillar which must be parasitized by an ichneumon or tachinid or caught by a predatory wasp and fed to her larvae, which they will parasitize and mature in. #entomology #parasitism #insects #wasps

@PaleoParaDive #Postdoc Aleksandra Skawina has wide expertise on the #evolution of freshwater #bivalves, #taphonomy and #paleoecology as well as with conducting #ecophysiological #experiments on living bivalve species and #teaching. She leads our efforts to create a #Phanerozoic #database of associations and #paleopathologies linked to #parasitism and co-leads the #Paleosynthesis #BITE workshop. She makes beautiful #scientific hand #drawings #paleoart. She is #mom of one, and has a cat on board

Continuing the session on Plant-Microbiome Inter-Kingdom Interactions here at #PlantMicrobeInteractions2022 is Siobhan Brady from @ucdavis 🪴
We learnt about how #microbes can create barriers to #Striga #parasitism in #sorghum roots 🧫

Q3: What is your project about?
My project is about understanding the impact of #extinction and #environmental perturbations on #parasitism in the #fossil record and using it to better inform predictions of possible future change scenarios in relationship with biodiversity and climate change.

#Introduction I am an paleobiologist documenting and interpreting the relative contributions of abiotic (#climate) and biotic factors (#parasitism) in driving large-scale patterns in the #evolution of #life. Our PARADIVE team is based at the Institute of Evolutionary #Biology, University of #Warsaw.
I am really into #cephalopods, #fossil #parasites, funny #tees and #movies, involved with #Paleosynthesis. I am #Paleontology and #Evolutionary #Science #Editor at #PeerJ and #Palaios.

@Poppi62 Nice follow up on Gaspar Jekely's reply to Kevin Mitchell ... it is indeed a remarkable development, a great example of how #parasitism can result in greatly simplified organs and body plans in animals such as #annelids.
