That is one of our investigations, to see how the parasites change the behaviour of the shrimps. They start to swim closer to the surface, becoming more red (more carotenoids prevent them from the sunlight) and ... like this, they become better seen from the birds! TATADAAAA - voila! The parasites catch the poor bird (the final host)! :D
