TL;DR: The group established a systems model approach and priority lists of infectious diseases affected by ecologic degradation, and recommended creating Centers of Excellence in Ecology and Health Research and Training, based at regional universities and/or research institutes with close links to the surrounding communities.

TL;DR: Six major themes in the ecology and conservation of landscapes are assessed, including recognizing the importance of landscape mosaics, recognizing interactions between vegetation cover and vegetation configuration, and 13 important issues that need to be considered in developing approaches to landscape conservation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, on a global scale, the impacts of climate change on viticultural suitability are substantial, leading to possible conservation conflicts in land use and freshwater ecosystems.

TL;DR: Focusing on Hendra virus, but also addressing Nipah virus, Ebola virus, Marburg virus and coronaviruses, this work delineates this cross-species spillover dynamic from the within-host processes that drive virus excretion to land-use changes that increase interaction among species.

TL;DR: Data showed that pregnant and lactating females had significantly higher risk of infection, which may explain previously observed temporal associations between HeV outbreaks and flying fox birthing periods and causal links between anthropogenic environmental change and HeV emergence are suggested.
