Inapparent infections and cholera dynamicsAaron A King
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA
Nature 454:877-80. 2008..Our experience suggests that the confrontation of time-series data with mechanistic models is likely to revise our understanding of the ecology of many infectious diseases...- Evolution of acute infections and the invasion-persistence trade-offAaron A King
Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Mathematics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Am Nat 173:446-55. 2009..In contrast to the plethora of models that predict evolution of more aggressive pathogens in larger or denser populations, the invasion-persistence trade-off also operates for frequency-dependent pathogens... 
Statistical inference for multi-pathogen systemsSourya Shrestha
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America
PLoS Comput Biol 7:e1002135. 2011....- Interactions between behavioral and life-history trade-offs in the evolution of integrated predator-defense plasticityClayton E Cressler
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 48109, USA
Am Nat 176:276-88. 2010..Our results have important implications for theory on the ecological effects of inducible defense, which has not considered how qualitatively different defenses might alter ecological interactions... - How infections propagate after point-source outbreaks: an analysis of secondary norovirus transmissionJonathan L Zelner
Department of Sociology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Epidemiology 21:711-8. 2010..It can become the source of further community transmission as well as new point-source outbreaks. Consequently, time-series data from exposed households provide information for risk assessment and intervention... - Anatomy of a chaotic attractor: subtle model-predicted patterns revealed in population dataAaron A King
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:408-13. 2004..We show too that the mixture of patterns an experimentalist can expect to see depends on the scale of the system under study... - Highly localized sensitivity to climate forcing drives endemic cholera in a megacityRobert C Reiner
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109:2033-6. 2012..The modeling framework presented here should be applicable to cholera in other cities, as well as to other infectious diseases in urban settings and other biological systems with spatiotemporal interactions... - Never mind the length, feel the quality: the impact of long-term epidemiological data sets on theory, application and policyPejman Rohani
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Trends Ecol Evol 25:611-8. 2010..Here, we review some of the key intellectual developments in epidemiology facilitated by long-term data. We identify research frontiers at the interface of ecology and epidemiology and their associated data needs... - Time lags and the balance of positive and negative interactions in driving grassland community dynamicsEmily C Farrer
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA
Am Nat 175:160-73. 2010..Overall, the presence of strong lagged density dependence in this system suggests that it may be more widespread in plants than previously thought... - Contact network structure explains the changing epidemiology of pertussisPejman Rohani
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Science 330:982-5. 2010..The practical implications of our results are notable: Ignoring age-structured contacts is likely to result in misinterpretation of epidemiological data and potentially costly policy missteps... - Plug-and-play inference for disease dynamics: measles in large and small populations as a case studyDaihai He
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
J R Soc Interface 7:271-83. 2010..Our approach is readily applicable to many other epidemiological and ecological systems... 
Spatial mechanisms for coexistence of species sharing a common natural enemyAaron A King
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, 569 Dabney Hall, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA
Theor Popul Biol 64:431-8. 2003..We discuss the implications of our findings relative to issues of community organization and biological conservation...
