The paper examines how thermal variability influences host-parasite defense strategies and infection dynamics, showing temperature variability can reduce infection prevalence but promote tolerance, increasing net prevalence.

The paper models how variance and mean of microparasite load interact with population dynamics and reveals insights into host defense mechanisms and population recovery.

The paper models how wildlife food provisioning selects for higher pathogen virulence, leading to potential host population declines due to incomplete immunity.

The paper develops a continuous-time microparasite model that incorporates infection intensity and parasite aggregation, showing how these factors influence host-pathogen dynamics.

The paper quantifies aggregation patterns of the fungal pathogen Bd in amphibians, showing higher aggregation than macroparasites and linking it to biological processes.
