Abstract:: Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...

Creator:: Blackfield, Danielle
Abstract:: Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to the high reliance on sea ice for safety, transport, and social behaviors. Additionally, the walrus diet consists of predominantly bivalves, whose populations are in decline as a result of ocean acidification. We first determined the...

Creator:: Urbina Gonzalez, Jenny Cecilia
Abstract:: This dissertation presents a different approach to understanding how amphibians are responding to disease through ontogeny. Although numerous efforts have been conducted to understand host responses to the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), studies have been restricted to distinct developmental stages. This dissertation provides information on host response to Bd across...
