Flood dynamics increase population vulnerability to waterborne disease and climate

Flood dynamics increase population vulnerability to waterborne disease and climate: They discovered that increases in diarrheal disease cases were closely tied to periods of rainfall, flood recession, and changes in surface water quality, with a 1 meter drop in river height in the dry season associated with a staggering 16.7 percent increase in diarrheal disease in children under 5.

Mysterious mongoose

Creeping in the night: what might ecologists be missing?

Mongoose are group living, territorial species that are considered to be diurnal that is active in the day. Researchers in our group identify mysterious nighttime behaviors. Why are they sneaking into other troops territories? One was observed peaking in at other troops in their dens! Here contact dynamics are much more complicated than we thought with new opportunities for pathogen movement.
