Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental factors affecting transmission risk for hantaviruses in forested portions of southern Brazil
TL;DR: Host distribution maps indicate overlap of several species of Oligoryzomys in the transmission area, showing the necessity of more detailed reservoir-based studies to detect finer-scale infection foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of chronic wasting disease in wildlife.

TL;DR: Research gaps in CWD prion ecology include the need to identify specific biological characteristics of potential CWD reservoir species that better explain susceptibility to spillover, landscape and climate configurations that are suitable for CWD transmission, and the magnitude of sampling bias in the current understanding of CWD distribution and risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of climate change on the potential distribution of Lutzomyia longipalpis sensu lato (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)
A. Townsend Peterson,Lindsay P. Campbell,David A. Moo-Llanes,Bruno L. Travi,Camila González,María C. Carrasquilla Ferro,Gabriel Eduardo Melim Ferreira,Sinval Pinto Brandão-Filho,Elisa Cupolillo,Janine M. Ramsey,Andreia Mauruto Chernaki Leffer,Angélica Pech-May,Jeffrey Jon Shaw +12 more
TL;DR: The most significant climate-related change anticipated in the species' range was with regard to range continuity in the Amazon Basin, which is likely to increase in coming decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why not WhyWhere: The need for more complex models of simpler environmental spaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that more complex and dimensional models are necessary to describe species' ecological niches, and that WhyWhere suffers from several more practical problems, which render it little useful for any practical application.
