The importance of interactions between the parasitic ciliate, Lambornella clarki and the mosquito, Aedes sierrensis, on the community structure of California treeholes (Abstract). Washburn, J. O. & Anderson, J. R. In volume VS8, pages 171, 1988. abstract bibtex Abstract: Aedes sierrensis and Lambornella clarki are widespread inhabitants of treeholes on the west coast of North America. Most treeholes support dense larval populations that are subject to food limitation and intense intraspecific competition. In nature, larval feeding can eliminate populations of microbial prey from treehole water. Lambornella escapes predation by parasitizing their would-be predator. Larvae release a waterborne factor that induces morphogenesis of free-living L. clarki; induced ciliates transform into parasitic cells that encyst on larval predators. Ciliates penetrate the cuticle and enter the hemocoel where they multiply and ultimately kill their host. In nature, larval populations are reduced or eliminated by multiple parasite cycles which occur over the prolonged period of larval development. In addition to modulating the number of emerging adult mosquitoes, facultative parasitism by L. clarki relaxes larval predation pressure allowing for increases in populations of protozoans and other microorganisms.
