P1:
Host age的特点
-one of the key factors in host-parasite relationships
-possibly affects infestation levels, parasite-induced mortality of a host, and parasite distribution among host individuals
两种关于host age的假设
-parasites are recruited faster than they die (higher infestation levels in adult hosts)
-parasites die faster than they are recruited (lowerr infestation levels in adult hosts)
作者观点-the age-related differences in infestation may be translated to lower or higher survival under parasitism of adults
实验方法-manipulated ectoparasite numbers using insecticide and assessed the infestation pattern in adult and juvenile gerbils in the Negev Desert
实验结果:
-only a partial support for age- dependent parasitism
-No age-related differences in infestation and distribution among host individuals were found
-survival probability of parasitized juveniles decreased by 48%; the same for adult not affected
实验结论:
-not explicitly be determined by age-dependent differences
-may also be affected by other host-related and parasite-related traits
P2:
新观点
-the process of ectoparasite recruitment and ectoparasite mortality depend on host age but operate in opposite directions and, thus, the two processes cancel each other并举例wood mice
-其他因素影响the processes of ectoparasite recruitment and ectoparasite mortality并用调查研究举例
