Excited about this new paper studying competition between lipid-scavenging #parasitoids sharing the same host. The later-arriving species shifts to #hyperparasitism to ensure sufficient resources. Don't miss the amazing photos! #nasonia #evolution #behaviour www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Lipids as currency in parasitoid competition: Interactions between two lipid-scavenging species

Lipid scavengers are organisms that rely on exogenous lipid acquisition as they lack the ability to synthesize fatty acids de novo or in sufficient qu…

*New paper alert* So proud of this paper led by MSc student Jasmin Merkel! It shows the long-term detrimental effects of high sugar diet and the lack of evolutionary adaptation to it. This is in insects but humans probably don't fare much better... academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-...

Multigenerational exposure to high-fat and high-sugar diets exacerbates reproductive distress in an insect model

Abstract. In several insect models, high-fat diets and high-sugar diets have detrimental effects, but it is largely unknown if multigenerational exposure c

Reminder: There is a venue for microPublications in Ecology and Evolution! Don't bury results in a supplemental file. Publish them as a micropub! #Evolution #PlantScience 🌍 🧪 #Conservation

📣 Introducing 📣 microPublications in Ecology and Evolution! Please help support this effort by spreading the word and submitting and reviewing papers! #evolution 🌎 🌍 🌏 🧪 #PlantScience #conservation

We are thrilled to announce the launch of an Ecology and Evolution section of microPublication Biology! Please support this new venture as an author, reviewer, and/or promoter! microPublication Biology publishes single, validated findings that may be novel, reproduced, negative, or are the result of small projects that may not fit into a larger article. The major goal of microPublication Biology is to rapidly place research findings into the public domain. microPublication Biology only accepts original, high-quality data and work, independent of perceived impact. Review and publication standards align with COPE ethical guidelines. All published articles are published in English and are peer-reviewed by at least one expert reviewer. Articles typically include a short abstract, a main section approximately 1000 words in length, a methods section, one figure (which can have multiple panels), and tables if appropriate.
