Drivers of community turnover differ between avian hemoparasite genera along a North American latitudinal gradient

Drivers of community turnover differ between avian hemoparasite genera along a North American latitudinal gradient

Abstract The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is an established macroecological pattern, but is poorly studied in microbial organisms, particularly parasites. In this study, we tested whether latitude, elevation, and host species predicted patterns of prevalence, alpha diversity, and community t...
