Mapping of snail intermediate host habitat reveals variability in schistosome and nonschistosome trematode transmission in endemic settings

T. Angelo, N. C. Starkloff, M. P. Mahalila, J. Charles, D. J. Civitello, S. Kinung'hi

This study maps snail habitats and parasite distribution in Tanzania to identify local factors influencing schistosome and nonschistosome transmission.

Spatiotemporal variability in transmission risk of human schistosomes and animal trematodes in a seasonally desiccating East African landscape

N. C. Starkloff, T. Angelo, M. P. Mahalila, J. Charles, S. Kinung'hi, D. J. Civitello

The paper investigates seasonal dynamics of schistosome and trematode transmission in East African ponds, finding intermediate pond ephemerality correlates with highest schistosome infection rates.

Functional similarity, not phylogenetic relatedness, predicts the relative strength of competition

M. B. Mahon, D. E. Jennings, D. J. Civitello, M. J. Lajeunesse, J. R. Rohr

This study shows that functional similarity, not phylogenetic relatedness, predicts the strength of interspecific competition across ecological contexts.

Environmental persistence but not per capita transmission rates of a chytrid fungus determines infection prevalence

S. L. Rumschlag, S. A. Roth, T. A. McMahon, J. R. Rohr, D. J. Civitello

The paper investigates how environmental factors affect the infection prevalence of the chytrid fungus Bd, finding that zoospore mortality, not transmission rates, drives variation in infection levels.

Reducing disease and producing food: Effects of 13 agrochemicals on snail biomass and human schistosomes

C. Haggerty, N. Halstead, D. J. Civitello, J. R. Rohr

This study evaluates the effects of 13 agrochemicals on snail biomass and human schistosomiasis risk, finding that fertilizers and insecticides increase snail biomass more than herbicides.

A meta-analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite

E. L. Sauer, J. M. Cohen, M. J. Lajeunesse, T. A. McMahon, D. J. Civitello, S. A. Knutie, K. Nguyen, E. A. Roznik, B. F. Sears, S. Bessler, B. K. Delius, N. Halstead, M. D. Venesky, S. Young, J. R. Rohr

This study meta-analyzes 58 amphibian-Bd infection experiments to show temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host mortality.

A Global Framework for Estimating Acclimation and Thermal Breadth Predicts Risk from Climate Change

J. R. Rohr, D. J. Civitello, J. M. Cohen, E. A. Roznik, B. Sinervo, A. I. Dell

The paper develops a global framework to estimate thermal acclimation and breadth, finding that body size and seasonality influence acclimation capacity and predicting extinction risk for amphibians.
