Pathogens can be critical drivers of the abundance and distribution of wild animal populations. The presence of an overdispersed pathogen load distribution between hosts (where few hosts harbour heavy parasite burdens and light infections are common) can have an important stabilizing effect on host-...

Context The use of toe-tipping (removal of the toe pad) in mark–recapture studies of anurans is controversial because of the unknown risk of infection and potential impact on animal survival. Aims We compared the inflammation rates of digits in unmarked and toe-tipped wild hylid frogs (Litoria genim...

Abstract Due to their foraging and burrowing behaviors, many crabs in the brachyuran superfamily Ocypodoidea are considered important bioturbators that enhance sediment turnover, energy and matter flow, and nutrient cycling in sandy beaches, mangrove forests, and estuaries. There is surprisingly lit...
