Disease Ecology: Community Structure and Pathogen Dynamics
The disciplines of community ecology and epidemiology treat complex interactions among species, so a synthesis and integration of the 2 fields are long overdue. Because each field has insights and inferences to offer to the other, such an integration could be mutually beneficial and yield important steps toward a predictive and profound understanding. This book links an interesting framework fo...
متن کاملLinking community and disease ecology: the impact of biodiversity on pathogen transmission.
The increasing number of zoonotic diseases spilling over from a range of wild animal species represents a particular concern for public health, especially in light of the current dramatic trend of biodiversity loss. To understand the ecology of these multi-host pathogens and their response to environmental degradation and species extinctions, it is necessary to develop a theoretical framework t...
متن کاملHost and pathogen ecology drive the seasonal dynamics of a fungal disease, white-nose syndrome.
Seasonal patterns in pathogen transmission can influence the impact of disease on populations and the speed of spatial spread. Increases in host contact rates or births drive seasonal epidemics in some systems, but other factors may occasionally override these influences. White-nose syndrome, caused by the emerging fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans, is spreading across North America ...
متن کاملGrassroots Ecology: Plant-Microbe-Soil Interactions as Drivers of Plant Community Structure and Dynamics Author(s):
A growing body of research on plant-microbe interactions in soil is contributing to the development of a new, microbially based perspective on plant community ecology. Soil-dwelling microorganisms are diverse, and interactions with plants vary with respect to specificity, environmental heterogeneity, and fitness impact. Two microbial processes that may exert key influences on plant community st...
متن کاملPOPULATION ECOLOGY Structure and Dynamics of a Parasitoid Community Attacking Larvae of Psilocorsis quercicella (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae)
This study investigated the temporal patterns of parasitoid attack and diversity within and among years and the potential ecological factors inßuencing the incidence of parasitism experienced by the larvae of a bivoltine moth, Psilocorsis quercicella Clemens. To do this, Þeldcollected larvae were reared throughout both generations during 1995Ð1997 in eastern Missouri. Annual variation inpercent...
