The paper examines how ecological opportunity and evolutionary relatedness predict parasite sharing across different mammalian taxonomic scales, finding that geography's importance declines while evolutionary relatedness increases with broader taxonomic scope.

The paper shows CDV persists in Arctic foxes for over a decade and spreads across species and regions, connecting North America to Eurasia.

The paper shows that the return of pumas to a suburban area rapidly triggered a trophic cascade, affecting prey and competitor species through multiple methods.
