Journal ArticleDOI
How parasites affect interactions between competitors and predators
TL;DR: The direct and indirect effects of parasitism are examined and examples of density and parasite-induced trait-mediated effects are discussed, as well as their role in promoting species exclusion or coexistence and the impact of emerging diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Biological Systems: Principles and Applications
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling process called Quantitative Model Formulation, which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of developing and validating models for scalable models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing impact prediction and hypothesis testing in invasion ecology using a comparative functional response approach
Jaimie T. A. Dick,Mhairi E. Alexander,Jonathan M. Jeschke,Anthony Ricciardi,Hugh J. MacIsaac,Tamara B. Robinson,Sabrina Kumschick,Olaf L. F. Weyl,Alison M. Dunn,Melanie J. Hatcher,Rachel A. Paterson,Keith D. Farnsworth,David M. Richardson +12 more
TL;DR: This framework demonstrates how comparisons of invader and native functional responses, within and between Type II and IIIfunctional responses, allow testing of the likely population-level outcomes of invasions for affected species, and describes how recent studies support the predictive capacity of this method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse effects of parasites in ecosystems: linking interdependent processes
TL;DR: It is recognized that parasites influence species coexistence and extirpation by altering competition, predation, and herbivory, and that these effects can, in turn, influence ecosystem properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect effects of parasites in invasions
Alison M. Dunn,Mark E. Torchin,Melanie J. Hatcher,Melanie J. Hatcher,Peter M. Kotanen,Dana M. Blumenthal,James E. Byers,Courtney A. C. Coon,Victor M. Frankel,Victor M. Frankel,Robert D. Holt,Ruth A. Hufbauer,Andrew Kanarek,Kristina A. Schierenbeck,Lorne M. Wolfe,Sarah E. Perkins +15 more
TL;DR: The indirect effects of parasitic infection are important at a range of biological scales from within a host to the whole ecosystem in determining invasion success and impact, and requires an interdisciplinary approach by ecologists and parasitologists across animal and plant systems.
