In many species, migration can increase parasite burdens or diversity as hosts move
between diverse habitats with different parasite assemblages. On the other hand, migration …

Animal migration impacts organismal health and parasite transmission: migrants are
simultaneously exposed to parasites and able to reduce infection for both individuals and …

In a world facing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of understanding
wildlife disease dynamics and their zoonotic potential are perhaps more apparent than ever …

Migratory animals can bring parasites into resident animal (ie, non-migratory) home ranges
(transport effects) and exert trophic effects that either promote or reduce parasite exposure to …

Migratory organisms can be vectors of parasitic host organisms that can then be transported
along seasonal migratory journeys and spread across continents. Ornithophilic nidicolous …

In contrast to birds, the relationship between migration and immunity has been scarcely
studied in bats. We examined how the expression of the humoral portion of the constitutive …

Parasitism is the most common lifestyle on the planet, with parasites comprising
approximately half of all species. With this diversity comes a wide array of parasite …

Animal behavior and parasitology are discrete fields with their own professional societies,
publishing venues, and intellectual histories. And yet, as the chapters in this volume …

Understanding animal movements at different spatial scales presents a significant challenge
as their patterns can vary widely from daily foraging behaviours to broader migration or …

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s Convention on the Conservation of
