Significance of vertical transmission of arboviruses in mosquito-borne disease epidemiology

Parasites & Vectors
Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are increasingly prevalent as a result of global change, with significant health and economic impacts worldwide. Dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Zika virus (ZIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), Japanese ...

How the landscape of publishing is changing biogeography

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2017
Open access, shifting publishing mores, predatory journals, reviewer over-burden are just a few of the factors reshaping modern scientific publishing. How are changes in the publishing environment influencing biogeography?

Plant compartment and biogeography affect microbiome composition in cultivated and native Agave species

New Phytologist, 2015
Summary Desert plants are hypothesized to survive the environmental stress inherent to these regions in part thanks to symbioses with microorganisms, and yet these microbial species, the communities they form, and the forces that influence them are ...

A Biogeographic History of the Plains Bison Focusing on Population and Range Dynamics [PDF]

, 2015
Early bison originated in Asia and migrated to North America by means of the Bering Land Bridge, which opened around 600,000 years ago. Just after the Wisconsin glaciation (11, 700 years ago), there were two allopatric species of bison residing in North ...

Impacts of Pleistocene extinctions on the biomass and energy use of local mammal assemblages around the world

Ecography, EarlyView.
Many of the world's megafaunal species went extinct during the late Quaternary, leading to dramatic reductions in community and ecosystem functioning. While the nature and severity of the extinctions are well documented on global and continental scales, less is known about local‐scale impacts.

Biogeography of soil bacteria and archaea across France

Science Advances, 2018
Each soil bacterial taxon exhibits a specific wide scale distribution explained by particular environmental filters. Over the last two decades, a considerable effort has been made to decipher the biogeography of soil microbial communities as a whole ...

Why would plant species become extinct locally if growing conditions improve? [PDF]

, 2012
wo assumptions underlie current models of the geographical ranges of perennial plant species: 1. current ranges are in equilibrium with the prevailing climate, and 2.

Climate and microbial community composition drive shifts in ecosystem function along three parallel elevational gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mountains are home to steep elevational gradients in environmental factors, biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. Though these gradients are tightly connected, little is known about the relative contribution of environmental and biotic factors in driving elevational changes in ecosystem functionality.

Deriving risk maps from epidemiological models of vector borne diseases: State-of-the-art and suggestions for best practice

Epidemics, 2020
Epidemiological models (EMs) are widely used to predict the temporal outbreak risk of vector-borne diseases (VBDs). EMs typically use the basic reproduction number (R0), a threshold quantity, to indicate risk.
