Experimental translocation of juvenile water voles in a Scottish lowland metapopulation (2009)
Fisher, Diana O., Lambin, Xavier, Yletyinen, Sonja M.
Population density affects dispersal success because residents can hinder or facilitate immigration into a new site, via a “social fence effect” or “social attraction” (or “conspecific...

Red deer Cervus elaphus, even in wilderness areas, are increasingly exposed to disturbance from human recreation as well as hunting, and it has been suggested that both types of disturbance may be...

Winter is energetically challenging for small herbivores because of greater energy requirements for thermogenesis at a time when little energy is available. We formulated a model predicting optimal...

DNA sequence variation at the hypervariable 5′ end of the mitochondrial control region was examined in 247 individuals to detect genetic divergence among 14 populations of red grouse (Lagopus...
Mycobacterium microti Infection (Vole Tuberculosis) in Wild Rodent Populations
Cavanagh, Rachel, Begon, Michael, Bennett, Malcolm, Ergon, Torbjørn, Graham, Isla M., ...
Mycobacterium microti (vole tuberculosis) infections in small wild mammals were first described more than 60 years ago in several populations in Great Britain. Few studies of vole tuberculosis have...

The possible role of pathogens in rodent population cycles has been largely neglected since Elton's 'epidemic hypothesis' of 1931. To revisit this question, 12 adjacent, cyclic but out-of-phase...

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a widely distributed tick-borne pathogen of humans, livestock, and companion animals. We used in silico methods to identify 10 variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) loci...
Disease effects on reproduction can cause population cycles in seasonal environments
Smith, Matthew J, White, Andrew, Sherratt, Jonathan A, Telfer, Sandra, Begon, Michael, Lambin, Xavier
Recent studies of rodent populations have demonstrated that certain parasites can cause juveniles to delay maturation until the next reproductive season. Furthermore, a variety of parasites may share...
Seasonal host dynamics drive the timing of recurrent epidemics in a wildlife population
Begon, Michael, Telfer, Sandra, Smith, Matthew J., Burthe, Sarah, Paterson, Steve, Lambin, Xavier
The seasonality of recurrent epidemics has been largely neglected, especially where patterns are not driven by forces external to the population. Here, we use data on cowpox virus in field voles to...

A key aim in epidemiology is to understand how pathogens spread within their host populations. Central to this is an elucidation of a pathogen's transmission dynamics. Mathematical models have...
