Duelling timescales of host mixing and disease spread determine invasion of disease in structured populations (2005, result): “…of group living (Freeland 1976; Moller et al. 1993), yet recent comparative analyses that investigated the effect of group size on the immune system or parasite diversity have had mixed results (Cote & Poulin 1995; Nunn et al. 2000; Nunn 2002; Stanko et al. 2002; Tella 2002; Nunn et al. 2003a,b).”
