Human disturbance increases coronavirus prevalence in bats
Human land modification is a known driver of animal-to-human transmission of infectious
agents (zoonotic spillover). Infection prevalence in the reservoir is a key predictor of …

Characterizing the phylogenetic specialism–generalism spectrum of mammal parasites
The distribution of parasites across mammalian hosts is complex and represents a
differential ability or opportunity to infect different host species. Here, we take a …

The specificity of host-bat fly interaction networks across vegetation and seasonal variation
Vegetation type and seasonality promote changes in the species composition and
abundance of parasite hosts. However, it is poorly known how these variables affect host …

Phylogeny matters: revisiting 'a comparison of bats and rodents as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses'
Diseases emerging from wildlife have been the source of many major human outbreaks.
Predicting key sources of these outbreaks requires an understanding of the factors that …

Phylogenetic signals in flea-host interaction networks from four biogeographic realms: differences between interactors and the effects of environmental factors
The structure of ecological interaction networks is associated with evolutionary histories of
the interacting species. This is reflected by the phylogenetic signals (PS) in these networks …
