UCSF has hired you to summarize the effects of climate change on the emergence and transmission of pathogens. In your summary please highlight how climate will influence populations and communities of pathogens and hosts, including the role of host behavior in transmission. You may make comparisons to other diseases. Be sure to identify what ecological principles lead you to your hypotheses and what experimental evidence suggests that principle is true.

PROMT: Climate Change Effects on Marine Iguana Mortality Hypothesis: If the water temperature in the Galapagos Islands changed from being hot (around 77 degrees) to cold (under 70 degrees), then the mortality rate of Marine Iguanas will increase. Variables: The independent variable is the temperature of the water that the Marine Iguanas live in. The dependent variable is the mortality rate of the Marine Iguanas. The mortality rate of the Marine Iguanas at the average water temperatures of their habitat....
