Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation within the human genome, occurring approximately once every kilobase. However, for association studies, SNPs are ...

Many host-parasite models assume that transmission increases linearly with host population density ('density-dependent transmission'), but various alternative transmission functions have been proposed ...

The vast majority of flowering plants rely solely on insects for pollination. A number of pathogens have evolved mechanisms to exploit these close associations and use pollinators as vectors of ...
