 an conditions are threatening marine species worldwide with consequences f
 or ecosystems and society. These changes include shifts in abiotic stresso
 rs\, ecological communities\, and anthropogenic use of marine habitats. Al
 lison Tracy’s work explores the combined impacts of these factors to ask h
 ow changing ecosystems impact marine health\, both directly and via specie
 s interactions. Her work focuses in particular on host-parasite interactio
 ns and disease\, which are a natural part of healthy ecosystems that can h
 ave transformative effects in changing environments. Here\, she will show 
 how long-term analyses of marine disease using historical literature repor
 ts provide insight into the impact of disease across nine distinct marine 
 taxa and 43 years. She will also present her work on emerging parasites an
 d co-infection in sea fan octocorals in Puerto Rico. Her approach combines
  field surveys and laboratory experiments to investigate how within-host p
 arasite interactions (through resources and the sea fan immune system) sca
 le to the population level and drive patterns of disease. Finally\, she wi
 ll discuss her current research on ecological communities on oyster reefs 
 in the Chesapeake Bay. This work leverages historical records and field su
 rveys to address restoration-relevant questions on oyster health and disea
 se for the benefit of ecosystems and human activities.
