As the frequency and prevalence of zoonotic diseases increase worldwide, investigating
how mammal host distributions determine patterns of human disease and predicting which …

The extinction of a single species is rarely an isolated event. Instead, dependent parasites,
commensals, and mutualist partners (affiliates) face the risk of coextinction as their hosts or …

Land use change—for example, the conversion of natural habitats to agricultural or urban
ecosystems—is widely recognized to influence the risk and emergence of zoonotic disease …

Past models have suggested host–parasite coextinction could lead to linear, or concave
down relationships between free-living species richness and parasite richness. I explored …

Populations of large carnivores are often suppressed in human‐dominated landscapes
because they can kill or injure people and domestic animals. However, carnivores can also …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose a significant threat to human health, economic
stability, and biodiversity. Despite this, the mechanisms underlying disease emergence are …

Bats are natural reservoirs of several important emerging viruses. Cross‐species
transmission appears to be quite common among bats, which may contribute to their unique …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), particularly zoonoses, represent a significant threat to
global health. Emergence is often driven by anthropogenic activity (eg, travel, land use …

Climate change likely will lead to increasingly favourable environmental conditions for many
parasites. However, predictions regarding parasitism's impacts often fail to account for the …

Most parasites infect multiple hosts, but what factors determine the range of hosts a given
parasite can infect? Understanding the broad scale determinants of parasite distributions …
