• Host traits and parasite species richness in even and odd-toed hoofed mammals, Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla (2006, background): “…the complexities of host social behavior, it is likely that the degree and directionality of the effect of host group size on PSR depends on the specific social system of the hosts under consideration and on other elements of host behavior that also influence contact rates (Wilson et al. 2003).”
• Life histories and parasite pressure across the major groups of social insects. (2005, background): “Furthermore, while a gregarious habit may increase the risk of intragroup transmission, this may be more than compensated for by a decrease in intergroup transmission (Watve and Jog, 1997), as has been recently demonstrated in a comparative study of lepidoptera larvae (Wilson et al., 2003) Ecologica”
• Access to mutualistic endosymbiotic microbes: an underappreciated benefit of group living (2008, background): “For example, group living, with its increased frequency of interindividual contact, favors the horizontal transmission of pathogens (Côté and Poulin 1995; Hess 1996; Wilson et al. 2003).”
• Plant defenses and population fluctuations of forest defoliators : mechanism-based scenarios (2005, unknown): “First, they had to use an incubation time of one hour to obtain maximum variation in implant melanization at +14 °C, which strongly contrasts with the 48 or 24 hours at higher temperatures commonly used with other insects (e.g. Renault et al. 2002, Wilson et al. 2003).”
