A healthy but depleted herd: Predators decrease prey disease and density

LK Lopez, MH Cortez, TS DeBlieux, IA Menel… - Ecology, 2023‏ - Wiley Online Library
The healthy herds hypothesis proposes that predators can reduce parasite prevalence and
thereby increase the density of their prey. However, evidence for such predator‐driven …
