In my Bachelor’s thesis, we looked at the influences on the predator-prey relationship between Pike and sticklebacks, caused by Schistocephalus solidus, a behaviour altering parasite. I conducted a range of experiments in the lab and investigated how the parasite altered the surival of individual sticklebacks. I found that that the parasite changes the infected sticklebacks behaviour considerably towards a piscivorous predator like the pike. Over the year I had a great experience learning how to run and analyse my own lab experiments.
