Host niche breadth differentially modulates the effects of anthropogenic disturbance across generalist and specialist parasites

2025-05-15

Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic disturbances in natural habitats increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases in free-ranging host communities. Hence, understanding the processes driving such patterns is critical towards One Health. While anthropogenic disturbance is known to promote habitat-generalist host species through biotic homogenisation, generalist parasites (wider host breadth) also respond positively to the disturbed...
