Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...
One in three firefly species in North America may be at risk of extinction, according to a study by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. One explanation may be the way fireflies react to ...
Climatic, landscape, and host features are critical components in shaping outbreaks of vector-borne diseases. However, the relationship between the outbreaks of vectorborne pathogens and their ...
A new study in the journal Nature Communications analyzes pathogen, host, environmental, and behavioral factors that were associated with a higher respiratory pathogen load in indoor ambient air.

Brian P. Lazzaro from Cornell University discusses the role of dynamic feedbacks in determining infection outcomes ...
Ancient pathogens that escape from melting permafrost have real potential to damage microbial communities and might potentially threaten human health, according to a new study. Ancient pathogens that ...
Microbial biofilms represent one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, industry, and environmental systems. These structured, ...
