Invasive potential of common carp (*Cyprinus carpio*) and Nile tilapia (*Oreochromis niloticus*) in American freshwater systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an emergent field of ecological niche modeling to produce spatially explicit predictions of the invasive potential of common carp and Nile tilapia in the Americas.

TL;DR: Recon reconstructing passerine evolutionary history and producing the most comprehensive time-calibrated phylogenetic hypothesis of the group, which suggests more complex mechanisms than temperature change or ecological opportunity have controlled macroscale patterns of passerine speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic distribution of chagas disease vectors in Brazil based on ecological niche modeling.
TL;DR: All environmental conditions in the country are favorable to one or more of the species analyzed, such that almost nowhere is Chagas transmission risk negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of environmental change on zoonotic disease risk: an ecological primer
Agustín Estrada-Peña,Richard S. Ostfeld,A. Townsend Peterson,Robert Poulin,José de la Fuente +4 more
TL;DR: The importance of capturing the distributional ecology of any species involved in pathogen transmission, defining the environmental conditions required, and the projection of that niche onto geography is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chagas Disease in a Domestic Transmission Cycle in Southern Texas, USA
Charles B. Beard,Greg Pye,Frank J. Steurer,Ray Rodriguez,Richard Campman,A. Townsend Peterson,Janine M. Ramsey,Robert A. Wirtz,Laura E. Robinson +8 more
TL;DR: After three dogs died from acute Chagas cardiomyopathy at one location, an investigation was conducted of the home, garage, and grounds of the owner to predict areas where the vector Tryiatoma gerstaeckeri might be expected.
