It is often assumed that predators reduce disease prevalence and transmission by lowering
prey population density and/or by selectively feeding on infected individuals. However …

Predators can modulate disease transmission within prey populations by influencing prey
demography and behavior. Predator-prey dynamics can involve multiple species in …

While ranaviruses were initially a focus of scientific study primarily among virologists, the
continued and growing interest in them stems largely from their impacts on host populations …

The healthy herds hypothesis proposes that predators can reduce parasite prevalence and
thereby increase the density of their prey. However, evidence for such predator‐driven …

Hosts can avoid parasites (and pathogens) by reducing social contact, but such isolation
may carry costs, eg increased vulnerability to predators. Thus, many predator–host–parasite …

Intraspecific trait variation has been increasingly recognized as an important factor in
determining species interactions and diversity. Eco-evolutionary models have studied the …

Highlights•Chronic infection of Drosophila did not significantly affect the risk of
predation.•Predation may play a role in selection of symptoms of chronic infections.• …

Interaction between prey and predator in the presence of an infectious pathogen is the main
focus of this article. A non-local transmission, that encompasses the possibility of acquiring …

Despite previous treatment as herbivores, largely omnivorous tadpoles may exhibit both
consumptive (CEs) and non-consumptive effects (NCEs), but the roles of additional biotic …

Natural enemy ecology strives to unify predator–prey and host–pathogen interactions under
a common framework to gain insights into community-and ecosystem-level processes. To …
