Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Am Nat 173:E79-98. 2009..On the basis of our modeling and empirical results, we expect that factors external to individual hosts may affect the coinfection dynamics in other communities hosting vectored pathogens...- Predators indirectly control vector-borne disease: linking predator-prey and host-pathogen modelsSean M Moore

Institute for Botany, University of Cologne, Gyrhofstrasse 15, D 50931 Cologne, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:10904-9. 2007..Our study indicates that system productivity and producer evenness determine the direction and magnitude of top-down and bottom-up control of diversity and may reconcile divergent empirical results within and among ecosystems... - Examining the relative importance of spatial and nonspatial coexistence mechanismsRobin E Snyder
