Moose Survival and Habitat‐Associated Risk of Endoparasites

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We observed high rates of adult and calf moose survival in New York State, with mortality primarily due to disease associated with giant liver fluke infections. Calf mortality risk increased with increasing use of wetlands, where they can acquire giant liver fluke infections, and decreased with higher amounts of nutritional energy available.

Intestinal Nematode Infection Confers a Benefit to a Non‐Declining Frog Species, While a Fungal Parasitic Infection Has Sublethal Impacts on Reproductive Investment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Understanding the impacts of disease even in non‐declining populations is important for understanding population level health and resilience to other emerging threats. In this study we explored the impacts of co‐infection of the fungal pathogen and a novel nematode parasite on a common Australian frog species. We found that this novel nematode actually
