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 …

Emphasizing the ecology in parasite community ecology
AB Pedersen, A Fenton - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2007 - cell.com
In natural systems, individuals are often co-infected by many species of parasites. However,
the significance of interactions between species and the processes that shape within-host …

Parasite species richness and intensity of interspecific interactions increase with latitude in two wide‐ranging hosts
ME Torchin, O Miura, RF Hechinger - Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Although the latitudinal diversity gradient is a well‐known and general pattern, the
mechanisms structuring it remain elusive. Two key issues limit differentiating these. First …

Anthropogenic disturbance favours generalist over specialist parasites in bird communities: Implications for risk of disease emergence
Niche theory predicts specialists which will be more sensitive to environmental perturbation
compared to generalists, a hypothesis receiving broad support in free‐living species. Based …

[HTML][HTML] Revealing the drivers of parasite community assembly: using avian haemosporidians to model global dynamics of parasite species turnover
Why do some regions share more or fewer species than others? Community assembly relies
on the ability of individuals to disperse, colonize and thrive in new regions. Therefore, many …

Deeply conserved susceptibility in a multi‐host, multi‐parasite system
Variation in susceptibility is ubiquitous in multi‐host, multi‐parasite assemblages, and can
