Climate change, ecosystems and abrupt change: science priorities
Ecologists have long studied patterns, directions and tempos of change, but there is a
pressing need to extend current understanding to empirical observations of abrupt changes …

The thermal mismatch hypothesis explains host susceptibility to an emerging infectious disease
Parasites typically have broader thermal limits than hosts, so large performance gaps
between pathogens and their cold‐and warm‐adapted hosts should occur at relatively warm …

An interaction between climate change and infectious disease drove widespread amphibian declines
Climate change might drive species declines by altering species interactions, such as host–
parasite interactions. However, few studies have combined experiments, field data, and …

Spatial scale modulates the strength of ecological processes driving disease distributions
Humans are altering the distribution of species by changing the climate and disrupting biotic
interactions and dispersal. A fundamental hypothesis in spatial ecology suggests that these …
