1 INTRODUCTION While many studies on wildlife disease have focused on interactions between a single-host and a single-parasite taxon, virtually all hosts in nature support a diverse community of infectious agents (Petney & Andrews, 1998). In some cases, infection by multiple parasites may worsen disease for hosts in an additive manner, reducing host fitness (Johnson & Hoverman, 2012).

AbstractEcologists differ in the degree to which they consider the linear Type I functional response to be an unrealistic versus sufficient representation of predator feeding rates. Empiricists tend to consider it unsuitably non-mechanistic and theoreticians tend to consider it necessarily simple.

AbstractMany critical drivers of ecological systems exhibit regular scaling relationships, yet, often, the underlying mechanisms explaining these relationships are unknown. Trophic interactions strengths, which underpin ecosystem stability and dynamics, are no exception, exhibiting statistical and scaling relationships with predator and prey traits that lack a causal evolutionary explanation.

If you are looking for a polemical book against God and/or religion, or perhaps a book that (finally) disproves (the existence of) God, you should pass this book by: neither of these are the aims of the authors herein. Rather, generally bypassing questions of God's (non)existence, the essays collected here seek to explore and describe the experience or feeling of the absence of God (although a few essays seem a little detached from this aim).

Sokolowski's Pictures, Quotations, and Distinctions: Fourteen Essays in Phenomenology makes a helpful contribution to philosophical discussions on a variety of topics. Originally published in 1992 by the University of Notre Dame Press, the book had gone out of print, leading to its 2022 reprinting with Catholic University Press of America, as Sokolowski wished to see the book still in print.
