Determining fecal bacterial profiles of a human-habituated wild chimpanzee population in Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania
… two at a time. Specific diet, physiology, and environmental reservoir exposure may play large roles in shaping such profiles.

Sands and environmental conditions impact the abundance and persistence of the fecal indicator bacteria Enterococcus at recreational beaches
… presents evidence that beach sands are an environmental reservoir of enterococci, tests the relationship between beach sand enterococci and water quality measurements, examines how real-time environmental conditions measured at beaches can be used to better understand and predict water …

Shifting disease dynamics following the invasion of an emerging wildlife pathogen
The introduction of pathogens to new regions can have significant impacts to human, agricultural and wildlife health. Introduced pathogens can change and adapt to new hosts (i.e. the species that they infect) and to new habitats. These factors can ultimately influence their impact on host …

The foraging ecology of banded mongooses (Mungos mungo): Epidemiological and human-wildlife conflict implications
… in the skin (often the planum nasale) from an environmental reservoir. To understand the epidemiology of the yearly and highly seasonal outbreaks of M. mungi in this population of banded mongooses, researchers need to understand what factors influence banded mongoose exposure to M. mungi and …

Towards bioengineered ecosystems: Three studies in invasion biology
… community invasibility were identified: environmental modulation, and community structure. The first factor, community structure, describes the set of species in an ecosystem and how they are trophically and otherwise related. While the majority of work in invasion biology has focused on …
