Apicomplexan parasites are obligate intracellular protozoan organisms which, depending on the species, are able to invade a wide range of different host cells.

gregarine parasites rather than to coccidians.
The difference between these two parasites is that gregarine parasites are typically large, extracellular parasites found in invertebrates, while coccidians are smaller, intracellular parasites that primarily infect vertebrates.

The general lesson is that spatial heterogeneity may be more important for predation dynamics than is at first apparent, particularly for terrestrial mammalian systems.
This was a really cool study/experiment I enjoyed reading it. I've never really heard about heterogeneity before so this was new for me to learn about!

We classified moose as being in senescent condition if they exhibited signs of senescent-associated pathologies
I had no idea what senescent meant but when I looked it up it means something that has aged or a state of being old.

However, even when no sexual dimorphism in teeth exists, they are often employed in aggressive intra- and interspecific interactions.
Sexual dimorphism simply means the systematic way to tell the difference between individuals of different sex within the same species. So how shapes and sizes can determine which animal is a male or female.

Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) use their tusks for hauling themselves onto ice-shelves (Fay 1982). Elephants, pigs, and other large animals with tusks likely commonly use their tusks to force their way through forested environments (Shoshani 1978; MacKinnon 1981)
What makes tusks so strong and powerful is the fact that they are made with dentine which is a very hard, dense, bony tissue. The whole tusk is wrapped in enamel, the hardest animal tissue.

hypermineralized structures,
The cause of hypermineralized structures is when a disturbance in the tooth is caused during development which could be during the "pregnancy" or first couple years of life.

reduced biodiversity
Reduced biodiversity simply means that there is a loss or decrease of the variety of life on Earth. This could mean extinction of a species or just a dramatic loss of numbers in a species.
