Abstract

The role of pathogens in the population dynamics of some mammals was considered and rejected as unimportant in the mid-20th century. In recent decades, exploration of interactions between mammals and their pathogens and of the importance of those interactions for population, community, and ecosystem dynamics has undergone a renaissance. This paper briefly introduces the topics discussed in this Special Feature and their importance in mammalian biology.
