The ecological impacts of long-term (press) disturbance on mechanisms regulating the relative abundance (i.e. commonness or rarity) and temporal dynamics of species within a community remains largely
Positive interspecific relationships between local abundance and extent of regional distribution are among the most ubiquitous patterns in ecology. Although multiple hypotheses have been proposed, the
Wildlife disease surveillance is the first line of defence against infectious disease. Fluctuations in host populations and disease prevalence are a known feature of wildlife disease systems. However,
