  • Context-dependent effects of large-wildlife declines on small-mammal communities in central Kenya 
    Young, Hillary S.; McCauley, Douglas J.; Dirzo, Rodolfo; Goheen, Jacob R.; Agwanda, Bernard; Brook, Cara; Otarola-Castillo, Erik; Ferguson, Adam W.; Kinyua, Stephen N.; McDonough, Molly M.; Palmer, Todd M.; Pringle, Robert M.; Young, Truman P.; Helgen, Kristofer M. (2015)
    Many species of large wildlife have declined drastically worldwide. These reductions often lead to profound shifts in the ecology of entire communities and ecosystems. However, the effects of these large-wildlife declines ...
  • Drivers of intensity and prevalence of flea parasitism on small mammals in East African savanna ecosystems 
    Young, Hillary S.; Dirzo, Rodolfo; McCauley, Douglas J.; Agwanda, Bernard; Cattaneo, Lia; Dittmar, Katharina; Eckerlin, Ralph P.; Fleischer, Robert C.; Helgen, Lauren E.; Hintz, Ashley; Montenieri, John; Zhao, Serena; Helgen, Kristofer M. (2015)
    Abstract The relative importance of both environmental factors and host factors in explaining variation in prevalence and intensity of flea parasitism in small mammal communities is poorly established. We examine these ...
  • Host-Parasite Associations in Small Mammal Communities in Semiarid Savanna Ecosystems of East Africa 
    Guerra, Ana Sofia; Eckerlin, Ralph P.; Dowling, Ashley P. G.; Durden, Lance A.; Robbins, Richard G.; Dittmar, Katharina; Helgen, Kristofer M.; Agwanda, Bernard; Allan, Brian F.; Hedlund, Tyler; Young, Hillary S. (2016)
    Despite the established importance of rodents as reservoirs of vector-borne zoonoses in East Africa, there is relatively limited information regarding the infestation parameters and host associations of ectoparasites that ...
  • Interacting effects of land use and climate on rodent-borne pathogens in central Kenya 
    Young, Hillary S.; McCauley, Douglas J.; Dirzo, Rodolfo; Nunn, Charles L.; Campana, Michael G.; Agwanda, Bernard; Otarola-Castillo, Erik R.; Castillo, Eric R.; Pringle, Robert M.; Veblen, Kari E.; Salkeld, Daniel J.; Stewardson, Kristin; Fleischer, Robert; Lambin, Eric F.; Palmer, Todd M.; Helgen, Kristofer M. (2017)
    Understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on zoonotic disease risk is both a critical conservation objective and a public health priority. Here, we evaluate the effects of multiple forms of anthropogenic ...
  • Simultaneous identification of host, ectoparasite and pathogen DNA via in-solution capture 
    Campana, Michael G.; Hawkins, Melissa T. R.; Henson, Lauren H.; Stewardson, Kristin; Young, Hillary S.; Card, Leah R.; Lock, Justin; Agwanda, Bernard; Brinkerhoff, Jory; Gaff, Holly D.; Helgen, Kristofer M.; Maldonado, Jesús E.; McShea, William J.; Fleischer, Robert C. (2016)
    Ectoparasites frequently vector pathogens from often unknown pathogen reservoirs to both human and animal populations. Simultaneous identification of the ectoparasite species, the wildlife host that provided their most ...
