Density of hosts and density-dependent pathogens are highest at the core of species ranges

2026-01-06

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Infectious diseases are among Earth's most powerful ecological and evolutionary forces, capable of restructuring populations, reshaping entire ecosystems, and destabilizing human societies, as starkly demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the spatial patterns underlying pathogen density remain surprisingly underexplored, and thus it is unclear where risk of spillover to wildli...
