Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We assessed the relative importance of host‐related, environmental and virus‐specific factors in influencing viral communities among wildlife hosts. Among wild rhesus macaques, we found that picobirnaviral communities were most strongly influenced by macaques' exposure to human impact, followed by their sociality and group living, and finally by virus ...

Exploring the Effects of Giraffe Skin Disease Limb Lesions on Locomotion
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We found that giraffe skin disease lesions altered normal walking gait kinematics largely irrespective of lesion severity or number of limbs affected. Impaired movement due to GSD could negatively impact foraging efficiency, dispersal, and/or predator susceptibility; however, additional research is required to explicitly address these topics.

Incorporating phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity to refine Lyme disease risk models
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Biodiversity has been linked to reduced disease transmission through the dilution effect process. Traditional ecological measures of biological diversity, such as species richness, are most commonly used to test for the dilution effect. However, such metrics of species diversity do not consider the evolutionary relationship between species ...
