This project aims to examine how differences in the thermal performance of hosts and pathogens can influence the capacity of a species to respond to warming temperatures. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of global change biology by integrating approaches from the fields of evolutionary genetics, sexual selection, and epidemiology. Expected outcomes include improved knowledge and techniques that can be used to forecast the growth or decline of host and pathogen populations under different scenarios of warming. This should provide significant benefits, such as helping to identify local wildlife or agricultural populations that are most at risk under the duel threat of parasitism and global change.

该项目旨在研究宿主和病原体的热性能差异如何影响物种对气温升高的反应能力。该项目期望通过整合进化遗传学、性选择和流行病学领域的方法，产生全球变化生物学领域的新知识。预期成果包括改进知识和技术，可用于预测不同变暖情景下宿主和病原体种群的增长或下降。这应该会带来显着的好处，例如帮助识别在寄生和全球变化的双重威胁下面临最大风险的当地野生动物或农业人口。
