Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system
As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marin...

In German folklore, snow was gray and asked the colourful flowers for their hues, but they refused. The snowdrop, however, took pity and shared its pure white colour. In return, the snow let the snowdrop bloom first each year, signalling their pact, and rebirth and hope. #Folklore #Snowdrops #Art
