Gaps in modelling animal migration with evolutionary game theory: infection can favour the loss of migration

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 378(1876)

Ongoing environmental changes alter how natural selection shapes animal migration. Understanding these play out theoretically can be done using evolutionary game theoretic (EGT) approaches, such as looking for evolutionarily stable strategies. Here, we first describe historical patterns of EGT models have explored different drivers We find that there are substantial gaps in both the taxa (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects) and mechanisms (mutualism, interspecific competition) included past Although enemy interactions, including parasites, increasingly considered migration, they remain least studied factors migration to date. Furthermore, few papers look at response perturbations (e.g. climate change, new species interactions). To address this gap, present a model understand infection with novel parasite host three possible outcomes when migrants encounter parasites: maintenance (despite added cost), loss (evolutionary shift residency) or population collapse, depending on risk cost getting infected, currency. Our work demonstrates emerging behaviour This article is part theme issue ‘Half century games: synthesis theory, application future directions’.

Nowhere to escape: the cross‐age avian haemosporidian exposure of migrants in northeast China

Journal of Avian Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 2023(7-8)

Pathogen infection has been progressively recognized as a potential driver of animal migration, and the pattern in certain host may be related to its migration status. Nestling viability can crucial life stage evolution cycle but have irregularly studied date. In this study, we tested ‘migratory exposure' hypothesis by comparing prevalence diversity avian haemosporidian parasites breeding area between two dominant species including adults nestlings: yellow‐rumped flycatcher Ficedula zanthopygia , which is summer migratory species, Japanese tit Parus minor local resident species. The harboured more diverse parasite lineages than tit, line with expectation hypothesis, while nestlings present similar applicable pattern. Among 40 unique identified lineages, only one was shared three age classes. Nestlings suffered high plenty age‐specific area, mainly Leucocytozoon suggest an extraordinary selection pressure early life‐stages during migration. However, most common were not detected nestlings, significantly lower adults. Our results that birds from frequent infections escaped virulent at same time. difference susceptibility assembly migrants result intricate interaction along history. investigations revealed significance patterns areas, provide novel insight into driving forces

Effect of resistant compartment on pathogen strategy in partially migratory populations

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Abstract Migration, the recurring movement of animals between habitats, can exert pressures on pathogens they host. Properties host populations determine pathogen strategy (e.g. virulence) to increase fitness. To study effect adding a resistant compartment virulence evolution, we developed an SIRS model and examined winning across different rates recovery immunity loss. We find that when hosts spend relatively long time in class, more virulent evolves. These results have implications conservation migratory animal afflicted by disease.
