1. Heterogeneity in the ability of hosts to transmit pathogens is among the most fundamental
concepts in disease dynamics and has major implications for disease control strategies. 2 …

Animal personality and behavioral syndromes can have profound effects on individual
fitness. Consequently, there is growing recognition that knowledge of these phenomena …

The scientific study of networks-computer, social, and biological-has received an enormous
amount of interest in recent years. However, the network approach has been applied to the …

Understanding linkages between environmental changes and disease emergence in human
and wildlife populations represents one of the greatest challenges to ecologists and …

We describe a conceptual framework integrating animal personalities, movement ecology,
social networks and parasite transmission. For directly transmitted parasites, parasite …

Movement, both within an individual's home range and at the scale of dispersal, is a
fundamental aspect of an animal's life. The field of movement ecology has established a …

The three-spined stickleback is a small teleost fish, native to coastal regions of the Northern
Hemisphere, which has emerged as a key model organism in evolutionary biology and …

Parasites have evolved different strategies to increase their transmission from one host to
another. The Adaptive Host Manipulation hypothesis states that parasites induce …

Range expansion results from complex eco‐evolutionary processes where range dynamics
and niche shifts interact in a novel physical space and/or environment, with scale playing a …

The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A
multitude of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can …
