Scientists Uncover an Unhealthy Herds Hypothesis

Biologists worldwide subscribe to the healthy herds
hypothesis, but could it be that predators can also make prey populations more
susceptible to other predators or even parasites? Biologists at the Georgia
Institute of Technology have discovered at least one animal whose defenses
against a predator make it a good target for one opportunistic parasite. The
research appears online in the journal Functional
Ecology.
