Evidence for convergent evolution of host parasitic manipulation in response to environmental conditions

By Raquel G. Loreto, Ryan M. Kepler, Kimberly Fleming, Corrie S. Moreau
| Wiley Online Library Verified
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Abstract Environmental conditions exert strong selection on animal behavior. We tested the hypothesis that the altered behavior of hosts due to parasitic manipulation is also subject to selection imposed by changes in environmental conditions over time. Our model system is ants manipulated by parasitic fungi to bite onto vegetation. We analyzed the correlation between forest type (tropical vs. temperate) and the substrate where the host bites (biting substrate: leaf vs.
