New King lab paper @currentbiology.bsky.social led by the brilliant @luismsilva.bsky.social on parasite shedders and spreaders: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Transmission heterogeneity emerges from uncoupled parasite shedding and spreading

Silva et al. show that disease transmission emerges from multiple ecological bottlenecks rather than a single host trait. Separating parasite shedding from downstream infection success reveals why hos...

I am recruiting a PhD student to study the causes and consequences of gut microbiome variation in wild caribou using shotgun metagenomics, with a start date in 2027. This opportunity is currently limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Feel free to email me for details if interrested!

And that's a wrap! What an awesome day of insect science at the Acadian Entomological Society conference - from conservation of the Sable Island sweat bee to sexually cannibalistic mantids to the bugs of Halifax in 1750. The calibre of student talks was truly impressive @davidawde.bsky.social

Inaugural lecture! I will be talking about my research on how mating systems alter evolutionary processes and why this is important. This is a public lecture and should be fun and accessible to everyone: all welcome. Links in next post. 🧪

Poster for Inaugural lecture entitled Love in the time of climate change: how mating systems can control evolution. Has a picture of two black-browed albatrosses looking lovingly at each other.

Very excited to announce our new review accepted at Phil. Trans. B. (in press)! This project started after a journal club I presented this time last year (!) sparked some lab discussions and it's been so much fun seeing it become a paper. Big thanks to all my co-authors for making it happen :)

Judith Mank@judithmank.bsky.social · 4mo ago

We’ve been talking in our lab meetings about sexual conflict and sexual dimorphism, and have some thoughts. What if animal genomes are far more sex-specific and less cosntrained than we assume? @linley-sherin.bsky.social pulled it all together here www.zoology.ubc.ca/mank-lab/pdf... 1/n
