2013 journal article

Endemism in hostparasite interactions among island populations of an endangered species

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS, 19(4), 377–385.

By: N. Harris n, T. Coonan*, J. King * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: N. Harris n, T. Coonan*, J. King * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: aggregation; assignment test; diversity; fox; isolation; parasite; prevalence; Urocyon littoralis
TL;DR: Whether the role of an endangered, endemic species to provide habitat for ectoparasites varies throughout the geographic distribution of the host is investigated. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

Species loss on spatial patterns and composition of zoonotic parasites

By: N. Harris n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: N. Harris n & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: carnivore; distribution; human health; hotspots; species richness; virus
MeSH headings : Animals; Carnivora / microbiology; Carnivora / parasitology; Carnivora / virology; Computer Simulation; Demography; Extinction, Biological; Geography; Host-Pathogen Interactions / physiology; Humans; Models, Biological; North America; Species Specificity; Zoonoses
TL;DR: This simulation of host extinctions for 29 North American carnivores found that changes in parasite assemblages differed among parasite groups, and the proportion of parasites that are viruses increased as more carnivores went extinct. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

Global drivers of human pathogen richness and prevalence

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 277(1694), 2587–2595.

By: R. Dunn n , T. Davies *, N. Harris n & M. Gavin *

Contributors: R. Dunn n , T. Davies *, N. Harris n & M. Gavin *

author keywords: disease; diversity gradients; global climate; human health
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Birds / microbiology; Birds / parasitology; Birds / virology; Climate; Communicable Disease Control / economics; Communicable Diseases / epidemiology; Communicable Diseases / transmission; Humans; Mammals / microbiology; Mammals / parasitology; Mammals / virology; Prevalence
TL;DR: A global analysis of the relative influence of climate, alternative host diversity and spending on disease prevention on modern patterns in the richness and prevalence of human pathogens finds that for human health, the prevalence of key human pathogens is strongly influenced by disease control efforts.

2010 journal article

Using host associations to predict spatial patterns in the species richness of the parasites of North American carnivores

ECOLOGY LETTERS, 13(11), 1411–1418.

By: N. Harris n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: N. Harris n & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: Carnivores; conservation; distribution; diversity; fundamental niche; parasite; specialists; species richness
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Carnivora / parasitology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Forecasting; Host-Parasite Interactions; Models, Theoretical; North America; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: The first parasite diversity model is supply to understand broad-scale patterns in species richness patterns for North American carnivores, which can inform both future parasite conservation and disease management. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 review

The sixth mass coextinction: are most endangered species parasites and mutualists?

[Review of ]. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 276(1670), 3037–3045.

By: R. Dunn n , N. Harris n, R. Colwell *, L. Koh * & N. Sodhi*

Contributors: R. Dunn n , N. Harris n, R. Colwell *, L. Koh * & N. Sodhi*

author keywords: mass extinction; coextinction; chains of extinction; secondary extinctions; climate change; emerging diseases
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Extinction, Biological; Food Chain; Greenhouse Effect; Host-Parasite Interactions; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR: This work discusses the interactions and synergies between coextinction and other drivers of species loss, particularly climate change, and suggests the way forward for understanding the phenomenon of co Extinction, which may well be the most insidious threat to global biodiversity.

2008 journal article

Inferences about ungulate population dynamics derived from age ratios

JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 72(5), 1143–1151.

By: N. Harris*, M. Kauffman * & L. Mills *

author keywords: age ratios; Cervus elaphus; elk; indices; life-stage simulation analysis; monitoring; population growth rate; recruitment; sensitivity analysis; survival; ungulate
TL;DR: Age ratios are not useful for detecting gradual declines in survival of young or making inferences about fecundity or adult survival in ungulates populations, therefore, age ratios coupled with independent estimates of population growth or population size are necessary to monitor ungulate population demography and dynamics closely through time.
