Autorenporträt
Vanessa Ezenwa is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. She studies interactions between hosts and their parasites from physiological, behavioral, ecological perspectives. She is a senior editor at Ecology letters and President-Elect of the Animal Behavior Society. Sonia Altizer is a Professor in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. She studies infectious disease ecology and its interface with animal behavior, anthropogenic change, and evolution. Much of her empirical work focuses on monarch butterflies and a protozoan parasite to better understand the consequences of host movement for animal-pathogen interactions. Richard Hall is an Associate Professor at the Odum School of Ecology and Department of Infectious Diseases at the University of Georgia. He uses mathematical models to study host-parasite interactions and their response to global environmental change, with particular application to migratory animals and behavioral changes associated with urbanization and resource subsidy. He is also an avid birder and wildlife gardener.
