Interactions between hosts and their resident microbial communities are a fundamental component of fitness for both agents. Though recent research has highlighted the importance interactions animals bacterial communities, comparative evidence fungi is lacking, especially in natural populations. Using data from 49 species, we present novel strong covariation fungal across host phylogeny, indicative recruitment by specific suites microbes. co-occurrence networks, demonstrate marked variation...

Abstract Small populations of endangered species risk losing already eroded genetic diversity, important for adaptive potential, through the effects drift. The magnitude drift can be mitigated by maximising effective population size, as is goal management strategies. Different mating systems, specifically those leading to reproductive skew, exacerbate distorting contributions. In absence an active strategy, skew will have long-term on composition a population, particularly where admixture...
Rabies is a highly virulent viral disease that has been associated with large-scale population declines of the endangered African wild dog (Lycaon pictus). vaccination may be valuable conservation tool in this species, but studies indicate single dose does not always confer protective immunity. We examined 47 serum samples from 22 captive dogs (sampled opportunistically for other purposes) to assess whether antibody levels after correlated number doses received and factors affected outcomes....
