A reconstruction of parasite burden reveals one century of climate-associated parasite decline
Long-term data allow ecologists to assess trajectories of population abundance. Without this
context, it is impossible to know whether a taxon is thriving or declining to extinction. For …

What would it take to describe the global diversity of parasites?
How many parasites are there on Earth? Here, we use helminth parasites to highlight how
little is known about parasite diversity, and how insufficient our current approach will be to …
