This study quantifies how different NPV isolates affect horizontal wandering behavior in Gulf Fritillary larvae, finding isolate-specific variation but no significant difference in movement probability.

This study shows that MG infection reduces female house finch reproduction both immediately and with carryover effects, while male reproduction is affected only in the short term.

The paper examines how host susceptibility distributions reflect pathogen geographic structure in an insect baculovirus, finding that generalist viruses show lower susceptibility heterogeneity across populations.

The paper shows that host competence, not susceptibility heterogeneity, drives epidemic outcomes in experimental bird flocks.

The study shows that successful initial infections in house finches protect against severe future infections, with males being more susceptible than females.

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

This study shows that prior pathogen exposure in house finches reduces transmission likelihood but does not eliminate it, especially with more transmissible strains.

The paper shows prior pathogen exposure increases susceptibility heterogeneity in songbirds and affects epidemic dynamics.
