Data from: Starving the enemy? Feeding behavior shapes host-parasite interactions
The loss of appetite that typically accompanies infection or the mere exposure to parasites is traditionally considered a negative by-product of infection, benefitting neither the host nor the parasite. In fact, numerous medical and veterinary practices directly or indirectly subvert this 'illness-mediated anorexia'. However, the ecological factors that influence it, its effects on disease outcomes, or why it evolved remains poorly resolved. We explore how hosts use anorexia to defend against infection and how parasites can manipulate anorexia to enhance transmission. Then, we use a coevolutionary model to illustrate how changes to anorexia could alter disease dynamics and virulence evolution. Anorexia could be exploited to improve host health and disease management; we propose an interdisciplinary approach to minimize unintended consequences.
Data from: Host provisioning behavior favors mimetic begging calls in a brood-parasitic cowbird
The vocalizations of some young brood-parasitic birds closely resemble those of their host's young. Such similarities might arise because hosts bestow the greatest parental care in response to their own species' call type. We used a playback experiment to assess the effectiveness of the nestling call structures of two brood parasites, the specialist screaming cowbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) and the generalist shiny cowbird (M. bonariensis), in stimulating parental provisioning in a shared host, the baywing (Agelaioides badius). Screaming cowbird begging calls closely resemble those of baywing young and thus should best exploit any bias for species-specific cues. Shiny cowbird calls, in contrast, are unlike baywings but can instead exploit non-specific sensory biases for long call duration and syllable repetition. We found playback of screaming cowbird's mimetic calls elicited increases in feeding rates equivalent to those of playback of the host's own young, while shiny cowbird calls failed to increase provisioning rates above those of no-broadcast control sessions. These results indicate that baywings discriminate between nestling call structures in favour of their own species calls when adjusting parental investment, and support the view that selection for optimal host provisioning can favour vocal mimicry by parasitic offspring.
Data from: Host social behavior decreases exposure to vector-borne disease: a field experiment in a "hotspot" of West Nile virus transmission
Animals can decrease their individual risk of predation by forming groups. The encounter-dilution hypothesis extends the potential benefits of gregariousness to biting insects and vector-borne disease by predicting that the per capita number of insect bites should decrease within larger host groups. Although vector-borne diseases are common and can exert strong selective pressures on hosts, there have been few tests of the encounter-dilution effect in natural systems. We conducted an experimental test of the encounter-dilution hypothesis using the American robin (Turdus migratorius), a common host species for the West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne pathogen. By using sentinel hosts (house sparrows, Passer domesticus) caged in naturally occurring communal roosts in the suburbs of Chicago, we assessed sentinel host risk of WNV exposure inside and outside of roosts. We also estimated per capita host exposure to infected vectors inside roosts and outside of roosts. Sentinel birds caged inside roosts seroconverted to WNV more slowly than those outside of roosts, suggesting that social groups decrease per capita exposure to infected mosquitoes. These results therefore support the encounter-dilution hypothesis in a vector-borne disease system. Our results suggest that disease-related selective pressures on sociality may depend on the mode of disease transmission.
Data from: Social context alters host behavior and infection risk
Variation in infection risk and transmission potential are widespread in human and wildlife diseases and play a central role in host-pathogen dynamics. To explain this variation, most studies focus on linking host traits to differences in pathogen exposure, infection, and transmission, but typically do not to account for hosts' social context. Yet, an individual's risk of acquiring infection is likely influenced jointly by their own traits and their social environment. Here, we use three natural genotypes of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to test how variation in pathogen transmission is linked to differences in host behavior and social context. We constructed groups of 12 flies from one of three different genotypes and five different sex ratios (0%, 33%, 50%, 67%, or 100% female) in a fully factorial design. To each group we added a male or female "primary case" fly that had been exposed to the generalist fungal entomopathogen Metarhizium robertsii. We then recorded groups' aggregation behavior, mating frequency, and infection prevalence. Aggregation and mating behavior were influences either jointly or additively by fly genotype and sex ratio. However, a combination of individual-level (mating history; the sex of the primary case) and group-level factors (sex ratio) jointly influenced individuals' infection risk. There were more infections in female-biased groups, though the sex of the primary case also influenced sex-biased mortality and the relationship between individuals' mating history and infection risk. Thus, an individual's social environment can be an important predictor of social dynamics and their survival outcomes.
