Kuris, Armand
Organization(s):
University of California - Santa Barbara Our laboratory is engaged in four interlocking areas of research. The underlying theory being developed in our lab concerns the nature of adaptive peaks for different types of trophic interactions (links in the food web; predator/prey, parasite/host). This theory expands the concept of parasitic castration as a distinct type of trophic phenomenon. In our lab, this work has had many spin-offs concerning interactions between larval trematodes, the impact of parasites on fisheries, and the development of biological control for marine pests, as well as human schistosomaisis.
