Forest edge landscape context affects mosquito community composition and risk of pathogen emergence [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Forest edges, where humans, mosquitoes, and wildlife interact, may serve as a nexus for zoonotic arbovirus exchange. Although often treated as uniform interfaces, the landscape context of edge habitats can greatly impact ecological interactions.
