Understanding how parasite communities assemble and persist in the wild requires integrating both spatial and temporal dynamics, especially in systems involving multiple co‐circulating lineages. Using a unique 28‐year dataset of individually monitored great tits ( Parus major ) from five sites in western Switzerland, we investigated the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of haemosporidian parasites ( Plasmodium and Haemoproteus ). We e...

While ecologists agree that habitat loss has a substantial negative effect on biodiversity it is still very much a matter of debate whether habitat fragmentation has a lesser effect and whether this effect is positive or negative for biodiversity. Here, we assess the relative influence of tropical forest loss and fragmentation on the prevalence of vector‐borne blood parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus in six fo...

In recent decades, the emergence and resurgence of vector‐borne diseases have been well documented worldwide, especially in tropical regions where protection and defense tools for human populations are still very limited. In this context, the dynamics of pathogens are influenced by landscape anthropization (i.e., urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural development), and one of the mechanisms through which this occurs is...

Pond‐breeding amphibians are affected by site‐specific factors and regional and landscape‐scale patterns of land use. Recent anthropogenic landscape modifications (drainage, agriculture intensification, larger road networks, and increased traffic) affect species by reducing the suitable habitat area and fragmenting remaining populations. Using a robust concentric approach based on permutation tests, we evaluated the impact of...
