Intraspecific trait variation and changing life-history strategies explain host community disease risk along a temperature gradient.

Abstract excerpt

Predicting how climate change will affect disease risk is complicated by the fact that changing environmental conditions can affect disease through direct and indirect effects. Species with fast-paced life-history strategies often amplify disease, and changing climate can modify life-history composition of communities thereby altering disease risk. However, individuals within a species can also respond to...
