Community relationships of avian malaria parasites in southern missouri (2005, background): “…time have played important roles in the development of theories concerning host– parasite coevolution, the evolution of sex, sexual selection, and the evolution of virulence (Hamilton and Zuk 1982, Bull 1994, Ewald 1994, Lively and Dybdahl 2000, Lively and Jokela 2002, Dybdahl and Storfer 2003).”
Distance- and density-dependent seedling mortality caused by several diseases in eight tree species co-occurring in a temperate forest (2009, background): “If locally adapted parasites infect a maximum number of local hosts depending on the host population density (Kirchner and Roy 2002; Dybdahl and Storfer 2003 ), disease infectivity and consequent seedling mortality will be higher beneath compared with far from conspecific adults.”
Does terrestrial epidemiology apply to marine systems (2004, background): “Parasites are expected to be adapted to the local host genotype [ 28 ] and dispersing larval stages with a different genotype arriving into a host population might, therefore, be at a selective advantage [29].”
