Explaining prevalence, diversity and host specificity in a community of avian haemosporidian parasites
Many hypotheses attempt to explain parasite–host associations, but rarely are they
examined together in a single community. For hosts, key traits are the proportion of infected …

Host specificity in variable environments
Host specificity encompasses the range and diversity of host species that a parasite is
capable of infecting and is considered a crucial measure of a parasite's potential to shift …

Contrasting drivers of diversity in hosts and parasites across the tropical Andes
Geographic turnover in community composition is created and maintained by eco-
evolutionary forces that limit the ranges of species. One such force may be antagonistic …

Detecting parasite associations within multi-species host and parasite communities
Understanding the role of biotic interactions in shaping natural communities is a long-

Synchronous shedding of multiple bat paramyxoviruses coincides with peak periods of Hendra virus spillover
Within host-parasite communities, viral co-circulation and co-infections of hosts are the
norm, yet studies of significant emerging zoonoses tend to focus on a single parasite …
