Conservation Magazine is a snazzy publication from the Society of Conservation Biology that sports some great writers and great graphics. I was pleased to be asked to contribute a piece about some of my favorite living things–parasites. In particular, I look at new research that shows just how integral parasites are to the well-being of ecosystems. It’s just come out in the latest issue. Check it out.

[off topic, but about E coli and zoo siamang deaths, what happened?]

How could E coli kill both overnight, in the lungs and brain? dangerous to humans?
food contamination kill within hours? nursing infant didn’t eat it?
breathing contamination? why not the infant?
were feces-throwing chimps nearby?
