Stochastic environmental fluctuations drive epidemiology in experimental host-parasite metapopulations.
Environmental fluctuations are important for parasite spread and persistence. However, the effects of the spatial and temporal structure of environmental fluctuations on host-parasite dynamics are not well understood. Temporal fluctuations can be random but positively autocorrelated, such that the environment is similar to the recent past (red noise), or random and uncorrelated with the past (w...
متن کاملHabitat Fluctuations Drive Species Covariation in the Human Microbiota
Two species with similar resource requirements respond in a characteristic way to variations in their habitat – their abundances rise and fall in concert. We use this idea to learn how bacterial populations in the microbiota respond to habitat conditions that vary from person-to-person across the human population. Our mathematical framework shows that habitat fluctuations are sufficient for exp...
متن کاملExperimental evidence that human impacts drive fire ant invasions and ecological change.
Biological invasions are often closely associated with human impacts and it is difficult to determine whether either or both are responsible for the negative impacts on native communities. Here, we show that human activity, not biological invasion, is the primary driver of negative effects on native communities and of the process of invasion itself. In a large-scale experiment, we combined addi...
متن کاملMechanisms that Drive Evolutionary Change INSIGHTS FROM SPECIES INTRODUCTIONS AND INVASIONS
to estimate how levels of genetic diversity in non-native populations are different from those of their source populations. While it is typically assumed that a significant loss of diversity will be associated with species introductions, the actual effect may be more complex, depending on propagule pressure and patterns of diversity and population structure in the native range of a species. We ...
متن کاملEvolutionary speed of species invasions.
Successful invasion may depend of the capacity of a species to adjust genetically to a spatially varying environment. This research modeled a species invasion by examining the interaction between a quantitative genetic trait and population density. It assumed: (I) a quantitative genetic trait describes the adaptation of an individual to its local ecological conditions; (2) populations far from ...
