Many of the ideas and relationships that led as the graduate students in the group, Ellen Bean, to this book were generated through the annual PI Jory Brinkerhoff, David Conlin, Tammi Johnson, Ryan network meetings for this program. We have learned Jones, Kimberly Kosmenko, Amy Markeson, Sue volumes from the participants in this group and Rodriguez-Pastor, and Bala Thiagarajan. We would especially appreciate the support and vision of have made little progress without the enthusiastic Joshua Rosenthal (NIH Fogarty Center) and Sam work of numerous field assistants over the past Scheiner (NSF) in fostering collaborative interac- 3 years, and we sincerely thank them all. tions among a diverse group of scientists interested This book benefited greatly from careful review in ecology and infectious disease dynamics. and discussion of chapters by an informal “Disease The idea for this book arose at the 2002 meeting of ecology discussion group” at the University of the Ecological Society of America, where we were Colorado-Boulder, including Ellen Bean, Jory inspired by the growing number of presentations on Brinkerhoff, David Conlin, Ryan Jones, Matthew disease ecology. We followed up on this trend by Kern, Amy Markeson, Andrew Martin, Susan organizing a symposium explicitly focused on Perkins, and Jamie Voyles.
