Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Adam Z. Hasik's research investigates the ecological and evolutionary impacts of parasitism on host species and their interactions. His work utilizes meta-analyses to understand broad patterns, such as how parasites influence species coexistence under global change and reset expectations for their effects on species interactions. Hasik has explored how parasitism can shape selection by altering host fitness and variation, and how environmental factors drive species-specific parasitism in multi-host systems. His publications also examine the role of predators in weakening intraspecific competition and how past selection impacts ecological cascades. Hasik's research contributes to understanding disease dynamics and evolutionary processes in wild populations, with recent work focusing on age-related changes in parasite infection in ungulates and the potential for parasitism to drive host diversification.
