Stage-structured interactions and their consequences across levels of biological organization

Creator:

Segui, Leah Mupas

Abstract:

A central challenge for ecology is to understand the dynamic nature of species interactions. A classic approach to community ecology assumes that individuals within a species are functionally identical and that consumer-resource dynamics can be predicted solely by using species abundances. However, one species can consist of multiple functional groups,...

Complexity in host-pathogen dynamics : dispersal uncertainties, metapopulation persistence and the role of a changing climate

Creator:

Xie, Yang

Abstract:

Emerging infectious diseases impact both human and wildlife populations. Infectious agents, in particular the aquatic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (chytrid), have an influential role in driving global amphibian population declines. The emergence of the chytrid fungus has aspects of both geographic spread as well as climate shifts altering environmental conditions and...
