Are disease reservoirs special? Taxonomic and life history characteristics
Pathogens that spill over between species cause a significant human and animal health burden. Here, we describe characteristics of animal reservoirs that are required for pathogen spillover. We assembled and analyzed a database of 330 disease systems in which a pathogen spills over from a reservoir of one or more species. Three-quarters of reservoirs included wildlife, and 84% included mammals....

متن کاملTreg cells, life history, and diversity.
Regulatory T cells expressing the FoxP3 transcription factor have a profound and nonredundant role in several aspects of immunological tolerance. We will review here the specification of this lineage, its population dynamics, and the diversity of subphenotypes that correlate with their diverse roles in controlling inflammation in a variety of settings.
متن کاملLife History Diversity in Klamath River Steelhead
Oncorhynchusmykiss exhibits a vast array of life histories, which increases its likelihood of persistence by spreading risk of extirpation among different pathways. TheKlamathRiver basin (California–Oregon) provides a particularly interesting backdrop for the study of life history diversity inO. mykiss, in part because the river is slated for a historic and potentially influential dam removal a...
متن کاملLife-history correlates of enamel microstructure in cebidae (Platyrrhini, Primates).
Previous studies have examined tooth eruption as it relates intrinsically to body mass, brain mass, and other life history variables, and extrinsically to ecological factors (e.g., age at foraging independence, environmental risk aversion, and maternal investment). Different models have been explored wherein each of these variables impacts ontogeny. However, anthropoid and strepsirhine primates...
