open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...

Spillover dynamics and asynchronous temporal fluctuations in host density and competence drive fungal parasite persistence in multi‐host, seasonal communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, the authors develop a new model to show that species contributions to parasite persistence can have strong, asynchronous temporal variability, often limiting the effectiveness of targeted seasonal parasite control. The model is broadly applicable for partitioning who, when, and what drive parasite persistence in multi‐host seasonal ...
