Activity patterns and interactions of rodents in an assemblage composed by native species and the introduced black rat: implications for pathogen transmission
Abstract Background The degree of temporal overlap between sympatric wild hosts species and their behavioral interactions can be highly relevant to the transmission of pathogens. However, this topic has been scantly addressed. Furthermore, temporal overlap and interactions within an assemblage of wi...
