Infection reduces anti‐predator behaviors in house finches [PDF]
Journal of Avian Biology, 2017 Infectious diseases can cause host mortality through direct or indirect mechanisms, including altered behavior. Diminished anti‐predator behavior is among the most‐studied causes of indirect mortality during infection, particularly for systems in which a parasite's life‐cycle requires transmission from prey to predator ...

Seasonal Patterns of Fat Deposits in Relation to Migratory Strategy in Facultative Migrants
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Physiological preparations for migration generally reflect migratory strategy. Migrant birds fuel long-distance flight primarily with lipids, but carrying excess fuel is costly; thus, the amount of fat deposited prior to departure often reflects the ...

Contrasting epidemic histories reveal pathogen-mediated balancing selection on class II MHC diversity in a wild songbird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The extent to which pathogens maintain the extraordinary polymorphism at vertebrate Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes via balancing selection has intrigued evolutionary biologists for over half a century, but direct tests remain challenging ...

Complex interactions between bacteria and haemosporidia in coinfected hosts: An experiment
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species whose interactions might be synergetic or antagonistic, producing unpredictable physiological and pathological impacts on the host. This study shows the interaction between Plasmodium spp.

Diverse wild bird host range of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in eastern North America. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Emerging infectious diseases often result from pathogens jumping to novel hosts. Identifying possibilities and constraints on host transfer is therefore an important facet of research in disease ecology.

Full Open Population Capture-Recapture Models with Individual Covariates [PDF]
, 2010 Traditional analyses of capture-recapture data are based on likelihood functions that explicitly integrate out all missing data. We use a complete data likelihood (CDL) to show how a wide range of capture-recapture models can be easily fitted using ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...
