Advances in technology and engineering over the past few decades have led to an increased interest in developing new, low-cost diagnostic techniques for use in resource-constrained settings…

Social contexts and environments have a critical influence on psychiatric morbidity. Whilst biological mechanisms can explain some aspects of psychiatric disorders, their influence is moderated by a…

Public health and the welfare of the ecosystems that sustain us depend on understanding how global climate change will affect the dynamics and distribution of pathogens and their plant and animal…

Humans and other animals must make decisions in order to survive. To make a decision, it is necessary to consider the costs and benefits of a given choice and learn from the resulting outcomes to make…

Mathematical modeling of biological processes has contributed to improving our understanding of real-world phenomena and predicting dynamics about how life operates. Mathematical approaches have…

PLOS ONE is excited to publish a Collection on the theme of Microbial Ecology of Changing Environments. From the response and contribution of microbes to climate change to the impacts on microbes of…
