Transcontinental migratory connectivity predicts parasite prevalence in breeding populations of the European barn swallow.
Parasites exert a major impact on the eco-evolutionary dynamics of their hosts and the associated biotic environment. Migration constitutes an effective means for long-distance invasions of vector-borne parasites and promotes their rapid spread. Yet, ecological and spatial information on population-specific host-parasite connectivity is essentially lacking. Here, we address this question in a s...
متن کاملHuman-induced reversal of fortunes for migratory ungulates?
Animal migrations link different ecosystems, with important consequences for nutrient cycling, trophic webs, and disease transmission over very large scales. Migratory populations usually reach much greater numbers than nonmigratory populations of the same or similar species, and many have substantial economic impacts. Many migratory populations of birds, fishes, reptiles, insects, and mammals ...
متن کاملGreater Genetic Diversity in Spatially Restricted
The maintenance of genetic diversity is a central goal of conservation. It is the raw material for evolutionary change and if lost, can accelerate extinction of species. According to theory, total genetic diversity should be less in species with restricted ranges and in populations on the margins of distributional ranges, making such species or populations more vulnerable to environmental pertu...
متن کاملConscientiousness predicts greater recovery from negative emotion.
Greater levels of conscientiousness have been associated with lower levels of negative affect. We focus on one mechanism through which conscientiousness may decrease negative affect: effective emotion regulation, as reflected by greater recovery from negative stimuli. In 273 adults who were 35-85 years old, we collected self-report measures of personality including conscientiousness and its sel...
متن کاملMapping Global Diversity Patterns for Migratory Birds
Nearly one in five bird species has separate breeding and overwintering distributions, and the regular migrations of these species cause a substantial seasonal redistribution of avian diversity across the world. However, despite its ecological importance, bird migration has been largely ignored in studies of global avian biodiversity, with few studies having addressed it from a macroecological ...
