Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Hybridisation and Species Boundaries in Eucalypts
ABSTRACT We review Jamie (James Barrie) Kirkpatrick's influential studies on eucalypt genecology in the 1970's and the trajectory that this research followed in subsequent decades. We focus on two themes which involve hybridisation and gene flow. The first theme is his work on phantom hybrids, which highlights the challenges in determining the origin ...

ABSTRACT Understanding which processes regulate spatial variation in species abundance across their ranges is key in ecology. Species abundances may be affected by several factors, such as climate, elevation, land cover, species interactions and habitat protection status. However, few studies have focused on these effects synergistically across species

ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

Are Hibernators Toast? Global Climate Change and Prolonged Seasonal Hibernation
This review examines how global climate change impacts mammalian hibernators, emphasizing physiological, ecological and phenological aspects. Many hibernating species already inhabit extreme environments, thus are at risk as climate variability intensifies.
