Whether it s plankton exposed to parasites or people exposed to pathogens, a host s initial immune response plays an integral role in determining whether infection occurs and to what degree it spreads in a population, new University of Colorado Boulder research suggests.
The American Naturalist, provide valuable insight for understanding and preventing the transmission of disease in and between animal species. From parasitic flatworms transmitted by snails to humans in developing nations, to zoonotic spillover events from mammals and insects to people - which have caused global pandemics like COVID-19 and West Nile virus - an infected creature s immune response is a vital variable in calculating what happens next.
Analysis reveals forest connections that underscore diversity s role in ecosystem health

As the health of ecosystems in regions around the globe declines due to a variety of rising threats, scientists continue to seek clues to help prevent future collapse.
A new analysis by scientists around the world, led by a researcher at the University of California, San Diego, is furthering science s understanding of species interactions and how diversity contributes to the preservation of ecosystem health.
A coalition of 49 researchers examined data describing tree species in forests located across a broad range of countries, ecosystems and latitudes. Information about the 16 forest diversity plots in Panama, China, Sri Lanka, Puerto Rico and other locations many in remote, inaccessible areas was collected by hundreds of scientists over decades.
