Understanding host-parasite interactions requires that the multi-faceted relationships among
ecological, behavioral and molecular processes be characterized and integrated. The …

The African elephant consists of forest and savanna subspecies. Both subspecies are highly
endangered due to severe poaching and habitat loss, and knowledge of their population …

The declining-population paradigm holds that small populations are particularly vulnerable
to anthropogenic influences such as habitat destruction, pollution and species introductions …

The composition and diversity of bacteria forming the microbiome of parasitic organisms
have implications for differential host pathogenicity and host–parasite co‐evolutionary …

Predators must contend with numerous challenges to successfully find and subjugate prey.
Complex traits related to hunting are partially controlled by a large number of co‐evolved …

Darwin's finch species in the Galapagos Archipelago are an iconic adaptive radiation that
offer a natural experiment to test for the various factors that influence gut microbiome …

The rate of evolution depends on the strength of selection, which may be particularly strong
for introduced parasites and their naive hosts. Because natural selection acts on phenotypes …

Disease and parasite outbreaks have become more frequent and more rapid as the
consequence of increasing global interconnectedness, trade and travel (Kilpatrick, 2011) …

Hybridization can increase adaptive potential when enhanced genetic diversity or novel
genetic combinations confer a fitness advantage, such as in the evolution of anti-parasitic …

Empirical data that identify contemporary mechanisms of divergence shed light on how
species could multiply. In this study, we measured population genetic structure, song …
