Our Special Issue on Understanding Age & Society using animal populations is now published 🎉 Intro: royalsocietypublishing.org/d… Full ToC: royalsocietypublishing.org/t… A big thank you to all the brilliant scientists who have contributed such cool research to this! 🙏Please share

Understanding age and society using natural populations

Abstract. Ageing affects almost all aspects of life and therefore is an important process across societies, human and non-human animal alike. This article

New paper alert! Collaboration with Jason Bried, Dan Bolnick, and @AdamSiepielski. Despite expecting within-host Interactions between parasites to affect coinfection across environmental gradients we found that the local environment was the key driver besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Is the local environment more important than within‐host interactions in determining coinfection?

Coinfection dynamics in many systems are affected by within-host interactions, via either direct or indirect mechanisms. Our study shows that this is not always the case, as we highlight a role of...

Very happy to share our new paper in @PNASNews on how #GriffonVultures change their movement and social behaviour with age: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… It seems that old griffons are much like old humans: they like to stay at home, are set in their routines and are a bit antisocial.
