The birds and the trees: Avian ecosystem (dis)service perspectives and farmers' willingness to plant native trees in the agricultural landscape of the Galapagos Islands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3182-3206, December 2025.
Abstract Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and ...

Pre‐ and postinfection priority effects have contrasting outcomes for parasite prevalence in host populations

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Parasite species frequently co‐occur more or less than expected by chance. These nonrandom co‐occurrence patterns can be driven by pre‐ or postinfection priority effects: parasites are more or less likely to attempt infection in a host already infected by another parasite species or may have higher or lower establishment and survival in hosts ...

Host tolerance and resistance to parasitic nest flies differs between two wild bird species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 21, Page 12144-12155, November 2019., 2019
Host defenses to parasitic nest flies differ between tree swallows and eastern bluebirds. Both host species are tolerant to their respective parasite loads but swallows are more resistance to the parasites, which is mediated by the parasite‐binding antibody response in nestlings.
