Conservation of Neotropical game species must take into account the livelihood and food security needs of local human populations. Hunting management decisions should therefore rely on abundance and distribution data that are as representative as possible of true population sizes and dynamics. We simultaneously applied a commonly used encounter-based method...

Recent controversy over whether biodiversity reduces disease risk (dilution effect) has focused on the ecology of Lyme disease, a tick-borne zoonosis. A criticism of the dilution effect is that increasing host species richness might amplify disease risk, assuming that total host abundance, and therefore feeding opportunities for ticks, increase with...

Salmon and other anadromous fish are consumed by vertebrates with distinct
life history strategies to capitalize on this ephemeral pulse of resource availability.
Depending on the timing of salmon arrival, this resource may be in surplus to
the needs of vertebrate consumers if, for instance, their populations are limited
by...

Animal and plant species differ dramatically in their quality as hosts for multi-host pathogens, but the causes of this
variation are poorly understood. A group of small mammals, including small rodents and shrews, are among the most
competent natural reservoirs for three tick-borne zoonotic pathogens, Borrelia burgdorferi, Babesia microti, and...
