Habitats are rapidly changing across the planet and the consequences will have major and
long-lasting effects on wildlife and their parasites. Birds harbor many types of blood …

Species distribution models have grown in complexity by incorporating fine‐scale variables,
including data on microclimate, physiology and species interactions. Recent studies have …

Vector and host communities, as well as habitat characteristics, may have important but
different impacts on the prevalence, richness and evenness of vector‐borne parasites. We …

Metapopulation persistence in fragmented landscapes depends on habitat patches that can
support resilient local populations and sufficient connectivity between patches. Yet …

Background. The paper presents data on the variability and relationship of microorganisms
in the biocenosis of livestock farms. Methods. The analysis of the available literature on the …

Environmental factors strongly influence the ecology and evolution of vector‐borne
infectious diseases. However, our understanding of the influence of climatic variation on …

Oceanic islands are excellent systems for allowing biologists to test evolutionary hypotheses
due to their relative simplicity of habitats, naturally replicated study design and high levels of …

Humans and wildlife are at risk from certain vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue,
and West Nile and yellow fevers. Factors linked to global change, including habitat …

Tropical forests are experiencing increasing impacts from a multitude of anthropogenic
activities such as logging and conversion to agricultural use. These perturbations are …

Mountains are well-suited systems to disentangle the factors driving distribution of parasites
due to their heterogeneity of climatic and habitat conditions. However, the information about …
