Skeptics have questioned the empirical evidence that corridors provide landscape
connectivity. Some also have suggested dangers of corridors. We reviewed published …

Recent progress in the field of wildlife disease ecology demonstrates that infectious disease
plays a crucial role in the lives of wild animals. Parasites and pathogens should be …

As much as we know about primate socio-ecology, we are still struggling to find ways to
predict how primates will respond to climate change. This chapter introduces some of the …

Recent evidence of emerging human diseases with origins or likely transmission to humans,
or both, that involve primates and a greater recognition of the risk of human pathogen …

Living in a large social group is thought to increase disease risk in wild animal populations,
but comparative studies have provided mixed support for this prediction. Here, we take a …

As assessed by the IUCN Mace–Lande system, seven (35%) of the 20 Alouatta species and
subspecies with adequate data are classified as “threatened,” ie, critically endangered …

The current state of knowledge of canopy invertebrates in tropical rain forests is reviewed
using data drawn, without bias toward taxon, collecting method or biogeographical region …

Summary 1 Habitat loss and fragmentation are the principal causes of the loss of biological
diversity. In addition, parasitic diseases are an emerging threat to many animals …
