In an era of mass extinction, predicting the consequences of species loss has become a
priority for ecologists. Extinction of one species can trigger the loss of dependent species …

A growing body of research is focused on the extinction of parasite species in response to
host endangerment and declines. Beyond the loss of parasite species richness, host …

Growing evidence suggests that biodiversity mediates parasite prevalence. We have
compiled the first global database on occurrences and prevalence of marine parasitism …

Parasites regularly switch into new host species, representing a disease burden and
conservation risk to the hosts. The distribution of these parasites also gives insight into …

Interspecies interactions deserve more attention in biodiversity conservation since the
elimination of only one species can indirectly impede the dependent species through …

Ecological associations between hosts and parasites are influenced by host exposure and
susceptibility to parasites, and by parasite traits, such as transmission mode. Advances in …

Objectives The ongoing risk of emerging infectious disease has renewed calls for
understanding the origins of zoonoses and identifying future zoonotic disease threats. Given …

Invasive plants are one of the greatest threats leading to biodiversity loss and species
extinction worldwide. Understanding the responses of liana and tree communities as well as …

Group living is beneficial for individuals, but also comes with costs. One such cost is the
increased possibility of pathogen transmission because increased numbers or frequencies …
