Lack of data to properly model key biological characteristics like abundance or distribution,
seriously hinder comprehension of biodiversity patterns and their drivers—even for …

Across a species' range, populations are exposed to their local thermal environments, which
on an evolutionary scale, may cause adaptative differences among populations. Helminths …

Climate change is expected to affect parasitic nematodes and hence possibly parasite–host
dynamics and may have far-reaching consequences for animal health, livestock production …

Parasitic nematodes are ubiquitous and can negatively impact their host by reducing
fecundity or increasing mortality, yet the driver of variation in the parasite community across …

Rangelands are increasingly being affected by climatic variations, fragmentation and
changes in livestock management practices. Along with resource competition between …

Parasites negatively affect the fitness of ungulate hosts directly, and in wild ungulates, these
effects may be synzootic with other stressors, such as limited nutritional resources. In the …

Parasites can impact wildlife populations through their effects on host fitness and survival.
The life history strategies of a parasite species can dictate the mechanisms and timing …

Climate change is shifting the transmission of parasites, which is determined by host density,
ambient temperature and moisture. These shifts can lead to increased pressure from …

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) life history is intimately associated with the distribution of sea
ice and their prey in Arctic ecosystems. These ecosystems are changing in response to …

Extreme temperature events brought on by climate change are occurring more frequently
and with greater intensity, which has an impact on all economic activities, including …
