Linking community and disease ecology: the impact of biodiversity on pathogen transmission [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 The increasing number of zoonotic diseases spilling over from a range of wild animal species represents a particular concern for public health, especially in light of the current dramatic trend of biodiversity loss. To understand the ecology of these multi-host pathogens and their response to environmental degradation and species extinctions, it is ...

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity–Climate–Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco‐Evolutionary and One Health Research [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFreshwater ecosystems are central but overlooked in frameworks addressing the biodiversity‐climate‐health nexus. Among their inhabitants, freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and disease.

Phylogenetic community ecology of soil biodiversity using mitochondrial metagenomics [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2015 AbstractHigh‐throughput DNA methods hold great promise for the study of taxonomically intractable mesofauna of the soil. Here, we assess species diversity and community structure in a phylogenetic framework, by sequencing total DNA from bulk specimen samples and assembly of mitochondrial genomes.

Reconciling cooperation, biodiversity and stability in complex ecological communities [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractEmpirical evidences show that ecosystems with high biodiversity can persist in time even in the presence of few types of resources and are more stable than low biodiverse communities. This evidence is contrasted by the conventional mathematical modeling, which predicts that the presence of many species and/or cooperative interactions are ...

Ecology and Biology of Aquatic Insects
Insects, 2021 The advancement of our knowledge on the ecology and biology of aquatic insects is essential to improving our understanding of their roles in water quality, disease ecology, as indicators of climate change, biodiversity, as well as community structure and

F1000Research, 2014 Previous genetic studies of eastern coyotes (Canis latrans) are based on one of two strategies: sampling many individuals using one or very few molecular markers, or sampling very few individuals using many genomic markers.

Integrating Species Traits into Species Pools [PDF]
, 2018 Despite decades of research on the species‐pool concept and the recent explosion of interest in trait‐based frameworks in ecology and biogeography, surprisingly little is known about how spatial and temporal changes in species‐pool functional diversity ...

Drawing ecological inferences from coincident patterns of population‐ and community‐level biodiversity [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2014 AbstractBiodiversity is comprised of genetic and phenotypic variation among individual organisms, which might belong to the same species or to different species. Spatial patterns of biodiversity are of central interest in ecology and evolution for several reasons: to identify general patterns in nature (e.g.

F1000Research, 2014 Temperature influences every aspect of ant biology, especially metabolic rate, growth and development. Maintenance of high inner nest temperature increases the rate of sexual brood development and thereby increases the colony fitness.
