and the plant-life they support, are important resources for the survival of animals in hyper …

Infectious disease ecology has recently raised its public profile beyond the scientific
community due to the major threats that wildlife infections pose to biological conservation …

Here we review and extend the equal fitness paradigm (EFP) as an important step in
