Climatological variation and ecological perturbation have been pervasive drivers of faunal
assembly, structure and diversification for parasites and pathogens through recurrent events …

A regional species pool comprises all species available to colonize a focal site. The roots of
the concept are imbedded in island biogeography theory, supply-side ecology, and early …

Roots of different plant species are colonized by bacterial communities, that are distinct even
when hosts share the same habitat. It remains unclear to what extent the host actively …

Pesticide resistance development is an example of rapid contemporary evolution that poses
immense challenges for agriculture. It typically evolves due to the strong directional …

Sarcoptic mange, a skin infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is an emerging
disease for some species of wildlife, potentially jeopardizing their welfare and conservation …

This Element provides an accessible introduction to ecosemiotics and demonstrates its
pertinence for the study of today's unstable culture-nature relations. Ecosemiotics can be …

Despite the fact that parasites are highly specialized with respect to their hosts, empirical
evidence demonstrates that host switching rather than co-speciation is the dominant factor …

Global changes are severely affecting pollinator insect communities worldwide, resulting in
repeated patterns of species extirpations and extinctions. Whilst negative population trends …

Tropical tree communities present one of the most challenging systems for studying the
processes underlying community assembly. Most community assembly hypotheses consider …

The parasite paradox arises from the dual observations that parasites (broadly construed,
including phytophagous insects) are resource specialists with restricted host ranges, and yet …
