Mismatch between host-pathogen thermal ecology impacts adaptation to 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变暖温度的反应能力。该项目希望通过整合进化遗传学、性选择和流行病学等领域的方法，在全球变化生物学领域产生新的知识。预期结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。这将带来巨大的好处，例如帮助确定在寄生和全球变化双重威胁下最危险的当地野生动物或农业种群。

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.
