Influence of temperature and spawning effort on Haliotis tuberculata mortalities caused by Vibrio harveyi: an example of emerging vibriosis linked to global warming (2009, background): “Recent reviews have emphasized the importance of parasites and pathogens on terrestrial and marine taxa in the framework of global warming (Harvell et al., 2002; Ward et al., 2006; Bally & Garrabou, 2007).”
Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change (2019, neutral): “Climate change affects the occurrence and spread of diseases in marine and terrestrial biota 221 (Fig.”
The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems. (2006, background): “Conversely, the negative effects of disease are likely to become more severe, as pathogens are generally favoured by warmer temperatures relative to their hosts (Harvell et al. 2002).”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “One of the most significant changes on coral reefs along the Florida Keys Reef tract and in the Caribbean generally has been the emergence of diseases and the potential relationship to global climate change (Richardson, 1998; Rosenberg and Ben-Haim, 2002; Harvell et al., 2002).”
Overfishing, disease, habitat loss, and potential extirpation of oysters in upper Chesapeake Bay (2011, background): “The importance of multiple stressors on population dynamics is increasingly noted, but their effects are often difficult to evaluate because of limited data or understanding of processes (Patterson 1996, Harvell et al. 2002).”
Avian malaria Plasmodium relictum in native Hawaiian forest birds: epizootiology and demographic impacts on 'apapane Himatione sanguinea. (2010, background): “The introduction of mosquitoes Culex quinquefasciatus and vector-borne avian malaria Plasmodium relictum to the Hawaiian Islands is often cited as a leading example of the devastating effect of invasive diseases on naı̈ve populations (Daszak et al. 2000, Harvell et al. 2002).”
The Role of Hybridization in the Evolution of Reef Corals (2006, background): “The unprecedented rise of coral disease on Caribbean reefs has decimated populations of the dominant framework-building corals in the genera Acropora and Montastraea, as well as major gorgonian species (Harvell et al. 2002).”
Is an Unprecedented Dothistroma Needle Blight Epidemic Related to Climate Change? (2005, background): “The Dothistroma epidemic: A function of h ost abundance and climate change It is reasonable to expect the impacts of climate cha nge to materialize first in forests at higher latitudes, such as those investigated in our study (Hansen et al. 1998, Harvell et al. 2002 ).”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “While many studies have postulated about the potential for synergetic effects between climate change and other stressors (e.g. Harvell et al., 2002; Pyke, 2004, 2005; Christensen et al., 2006; Brook et al., 2008) few studies have examined these interactions explicitly.”
Some (worms) like it hot: fish parasites grow faster in warmer water, and alter host thermal preferences (2012, background): “Understanding how host-parasite interactions will change under altered environmental conditions, and predicting the ecological consequences of such changes, therefore presents a critically important challenge (Harvell et al., 2002; Dobson, 2009; Lafferty, 2009).”
Impact of climate change on human infectious diseases: Empirical evidence and human adaptation. (2016, background): “Second, rising temperature can influence the reproduction and extrinsic incubation period (EIP) of pathogens (Harvell et al., 2002).”
Community ecology in a warming world: The influence of temperature on interspecific interactions in marine systems (2011, background): “For example, warming increases the incidence and impact of pathogens in manymarine species (Harvell et al., 2002), including Pisaster (Bates et al.”
Global Potential of Soil Carbon Sequestration to Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect (2003, background): “Further, nighttime minimum temperatures may increase more than daytime maximum temperature, and winter temperatures more than summer temperatures (Harvell et al., 2002).”
Diseases threaten Southern Ocean albatrosses (2004, background): “Today, they are likely to be spreading with increased globalisation and climate warming (Harvell et al. 2002).”
The historical biogeography of co‐evolution: emerging infectious diseases are evolutionary accidents waiting to happen (2005, background): “The biodiversity crisis is not just a crisis of extinction; it is also a crisis of introduced species and emerging diseases (Grenfell & Gulland, 1995; Daszak et al., 2000; Harvell et al., 2002).”
Seasonal dynamics of mycoplasmal conjunctivitis in eastern North American house finches (2004, background): “Finally, annual environmental changes in temperature, rainfall and winds have been linked directly to pathogen transmission and survival in other systems (Dowell 2001; Harvell et al . 2002 ).”
