The order Carnivora includes over 300 species that vary many orders of magnitude in size
and inhabit all major biomes, from tropical rainforests to polar seas. The high diversity of …

The extent and magnitude of parasitism often vary among closely related host species and
across populations within species. Determining the ecological basis for this species and …

Transitional zones, such as edge habitat, are key landscapes for investigating
biodiversity.“Soft edges” are permeable corridors that hosts can cross, while “hard edges” …

Host populations often vary in the magnitude of coinfection they experience across
environmental gradients. Furthermore, coinfection often occurs sequentially, with a second …

Climate change will alter interactions between parasites and their hosts. Warming may affect
patterns of local adaptation, shifting the environment to favor the parasite or host and thus …

Host–parasite interactions are impacted by climate, which may result in variation of
parasitism across landscapes and time. Understanding how parasitism varies across these …

Parasites and pathogens are a ubiquitous threat facing organisms within every ecological
network. To protect themselves from parasites, organisms have evolved immune defenses …

Parasite-driven population divergence in hosts can be exacerbated by environmental factors
affecting host parasitism, as well as by increasing sexual selection against parasitized hosts …

Ecological systems are complex. Therefore, scientists rely on statistical tools to infer patterns
and causation into their data. This has traditionally been done by employing a frequentist …

Host-parasite interactions are impacted by climate, which may result variation of parasitism
across landscapes and time. Understanding how parasitism varies across these spatio …
