This paper develops mechanistic ODE models to predict Valley fever outbreaks by integrating climate and ecological factors, showing improved forecasting over statistical models when including wildlife reservoirs.

This paper argues for integrating phylogenetic comparative methods into evolutionary medicine, using comparative oncology to show how these methods can reveal evolutionary patterns in disease traits.

The paper applies state space models to analyze trait evolution in fossil lineages, finding that spine number in diatoms correlates with solar insolation changes.

This paper systematically reviews the prevalence and spatial distribution of viruses in the Peromyscus maniculatus species complex, highlighting geographic sampling gaps and the impact of recent taxonomic changes on hantavirus observations.
