Animal niches in the airspace Open
For flying animals, including many birds, bats, and insects, the air is a crucial arena for a range of behaviors. Technological advances, such as year-round tracking of flight altitudes and expanded use of radar, increasingly show how flyi…

‘Chancing on a spectacle:’ co‐occurring animal migrations and interspecific interactions Open
Migrations of diverse wildlife species often converge in space and time, with their journeys shaped by similar forces (i.e. geographic barriers and seasonal resources and conditions); we term this ‘co‐migration’. Recent studies have illumi…

To improve ecological understanding, collect infection data Open
Ecologists seek to understand and predict how organisms respond to multiple interacting biotic and abiotic influences, an increasingly difficult task under anthropogenic change. Parasites are one of these biotic influences that are pervasi…

Migratory monarchs that encounter resident monarchs show life‐history differences and higher rates of parasite infection Open
Environmental change induces some wildlife populations to shift from migratory to resident behaviours. Newly formed resident populations could influence the health and behaviour of remaining migrants. We investigated migrant–resident inter…

Responses of migratory species and their pathogens to supplemental feeding Open
Migratory animals undergo seasonal and often spectacular movements and perform crucial ecosystem services. In response to anthropogenic changes, including food subsidies, some migratory animals are now migrating shorter distances or haltin…

Food for contagion: synthesis and future directions for studying host–parasite responses to resource shifts in anthropogenic environments Open
Human-provided resource subsidies for wildlife are diverse, common and have profound consequences for wildlife–pathogen interactions, as demonstrated by papers in this themed issue spanning empirical, theoretical and management perspective…

Environmental Persistence Influences Infection Dynamics for a Butterfly Pathogen Open
Many pathogens, including those infecting insects, are transmitted via dormant stages shed into the environment, where they must persist until encountering a susceptible host. Understanding how abiotic conditions influence environmental pe…

Host–pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies Open
Significance In Latin America, vampire bat rabies constrains livestock production and is the main cause of lethal human rabies outbreaks. Despite knowledge that bat dispersal prevents viral extinction and compromises control campaigns, the…

Migratory monarchs wintering in California experience low infection risk compared to monarchs breeding year-round on non-native milkweed Open
Long-distance migration can lower infection risk for animal populations by removing infected individuals during strenuous journeys, spatially separating susceptible age classes, or allowing migrants to periodically escape from contaminated…
