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...

New paper alert! @Eri_Bemr's research @LeibnizIGB reveals a surprising twist: cigarette butts in water harm #chytrid #parasites that control #cyanobacteria, indirectly fueling harmful blooms. Keep cigarette butts out of our waters! Full story: igb-berlin.de/en/news/toxic-…

A meta-analysis uses data from over 100 published studies to assess how prey respond behaviorally to different cues of predation risk, and found that the strength responses to direct and indirect cues varied depending on the environment.. 🦁 buff.ly/40FGyPf @maggie_mjones

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
