Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of
these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature and …

The potential for adaptive evolution to enable species persistence under a changing climate
is one of the most important questions for understanding impacts of future climate change. …

… range (ie, T 0 < T m and we assumed that temperatures below 0… priors for each parameter T
0 , T m , c, and τ fit from an … Gamma distributions of priors for T 0 , T m , and c) by a constant k …

West Nile virus (WNV) is a globally distributed mosquito-borne virus of great public health
concern. The number of WNV human cases and mosquito infection patterns vary in space and …

… and Michael, 2010; Shocket et al., 2018; Tesla et al., 2018), we extend the basic R0 model
to account for the effects of temperature on mosquito density (M) via additional temperature-…

… We initially compare this model to an alternative (‘constant M model,’ Equation 2) where
mosquito density does not depend on temperature. We make this comparison because many …

… Given lack of data, we assume that background spore loss (m) and spore production’s half-…

Community ecology can link habitat to disease via interactions among habitat, focal hosts,
other hosts, their parasites, and predators. However, complicated food web interactions (ie, …

Dengue fever (DF) is the most important mosquito-transmitted viral disease causing a large
economic and disease burden in many parts of the world. Most DF research focuses on Latin …

Parasites can profoundly affect host populations and ecological communities. Thus, it remains
critical to identify mechanisms that drive variation in epidemics. Resource availability can …
