The fine-scale landscape of immunity and parasitism in a wild ungulate population

2018-11-29

Abstract excerpt

Spatial heterogeneity in parasite susceptibility and exposure is a common source of confounding variation in disease ecology studies. However, it is not known whether spatial autocorrelation acts on immunity in particular at small scales, within wild animal populations, and whether this predicts spatial patterns in infection. Here we used a well-mixed wild population of individually recognised red deer ( Cervus e...
