[HTML][HTML] Urbanization and disease emergence: dynamics at the wildlife–livestock–human interface
Urbanization is characterized by rapid intensification of agriculture, socioeconomic change,
and ecological fragmentation, which can have profound impacts on the epidemiology of …

How parasites affect interactions between competitors and predators
We present a synthesis of empirical and theoretical work investigating how parasites
influence competitive and predatory interactions between other species. We examine the …

[图书][B] Allee effects in ecology and conservation
F Courchamp, L Berec, J Gascoigne - 2008 - books.google.com
Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Infection burdens and virulence under heat stress: ecological and evolutionary considerations
TE Hector, ALM Gehman… - … Transactions of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
As a result of global change, hosts and parasites (including pathogens) are experiencing
shifts in their thermal environment. Despite the importance of heat stress tolerance for host …

Rapid evolution and ecological host–parasite dynamics
MA Duffy, L Sivars‐Becker - Ecology Letters, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Traditionally, the termination of parasite epidemics has been attributed to ecological causes:
namely, the depletion of susceptible hosts as a result of mortality or acquired immunity …

Eating yourself sick: transmission of disease as a function of foraging ecology
Species interactions may profoundly influence disease outbreaks. However, disease
ecology has only begun to integrate interactions between hosts and their food resources …

Wolves contribute to disease control in a multi-host system
We combine model results with field data for a system of wolves (Canis lupus) that prey on
wild boar (Sus scrofa), a wildlife reservoir of tuberculosis, to examine how predation may …

The parasitic chytrid, Zygorhizidium, facilitates the growth of the cladoceran zooplankter, Daphnia, in cultures of the inedible alga, Asterionella
In food-web studies, parasites are often ignored owing to their insignificant biomass. We
provide evidence that parasites may affect trophic transfer in aquatic food webs. Many …

Role of infection on the stability of a predator–prey system with several response functions—a comparative study
In this paper, we have proposed and analyzed a mathematical model of an infected predator–
prey system with different predators' functional response. The existence and uniqueness of …

Quality matters: resource quality for hosts and the timing of epidemics
Epidemiologists increasingly realize that species interactions (eg selective predation) can
determine when epidemics start and end. We hypothesize here that resource quality can …
