Infection in patchy populations: Contrasting pathogen invasion success and dispersal at varying times since host colonization

LS Nørgaard, BL Phillips, MD Hall - Evolution Letters, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Repeated extinction and recolonization events generate a landscape of host populations
that vary in their time since colonization. Within this dynamic landscape, pathogens that …

Can pathogens optimize both transmission and dispersal by exploiting sexual dimorphism in their hosts?

LS Nørgaard, BL Phillips, MD Hall - Biology Letters, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Pathogens often rely on their host for dispersal. Yet, maximizing fitness via replication can
cause damage to the host and an associated reduction in host movement, incurring a trade …
