This project investigates how the absence of parasites affects the success of invasive species, specifically focusing on the bank vole in Ireland. By comparing the parasite communities of invasive and native populations, the research aims to understand the evolutionary adaptations related to immunity and social interac…
Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity and human health because they often undergo unregulated population growth, putatively because they have escaped their predators; the enemy release hypothesis.
However, parasites are also ‘enemies’ and recent work has shown that invasive species lack a full parasite community.
So we ask, “does the reduced parasite community contribute to invasion success?” The first step is to undertake rigorous, replicated experiments that will empirically comp…
