Intraspecific variation can be as great as variation across species, but the role of intraspecific
variation in driving local and large-scale patterns is often overlooked, particularly in the field …

Host and pathogen dynamics are driven by seasonal variation, leading to complex epidemic
patterns which are not well understood. Here, we linked demography and epidemiology in a …

Chytridiomycosis is affecting hundreds of amphibian species worldwide, but while in tropical
areas, adult individuals have been the focus of most investigations, the exact role played by …

Pathogens that infect multiple host species have an increased capacity to cause extinctions
through parasite‐mediated apparent competition. Given unprecedented and continuing …

Ongoing amphibian population declines are caused by factors such as climate change,
habitat destruction, pollution and infectious diseases not limited to chytridiomycosis …

To combat the loss of species due to emerging infectious diseases, scientists must
incorporate ecological parameters, such as temperature and humidity, to understand how …

Pathogen-host systems become complex when they involve life histories with multiple
stages. Understanding these complexities is particularly important for investigating the …

Sensitivity analysis is often used to help understand and manage ecological systems by
assessing how a constant change in vital rates or other model parameters might affect the …

Most hosts contain few parasites, whereas few hosts contain many. This pattern, known as
aggregation, is well-documented in macroparasites where parasite intensity distribution …

Some of the amphibian populations in Panama are demonstrating slow recovery decades
after severe declines caused by the invasion of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium …
