🚨New paper alert!🚨

Tapeworms don’t just appear inside fish or birds. They travel there. Our latest paper tracks the first step of that journey: detecting parasites in first-intermediate hosts when they are rare + microscopic. We also developed primers/probes to detect parasites across taxa! (1/3)
Spookiest horseshoe crab in the Midwest 🐎👠🦀 Happy Halloween !

🐸Poison frog chemical defences are influenced by environmental availability and dietary selectivity for ants ➡️ buff.ly/NyBIPVP

Rodriguez et al., link spatial variation in leaf litter ant communities to frog chemical defences.

Last full moon paddle of the season in Monona Bay. Complete with live music on the water and roasting marshmallows from a kayak. Gotta love Madison. 🍫🌕

A year-long project where I painted a watercolour cat every month. A reason to keep painting, a reason to keep creating. Inspired by travel, friendships, learning, and death.

September cat, the last cat, emerges from a time of grief and reflection. 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Interested in #virulence? Not sure what it is - or how to explain it? Just curious? 🧐🦠🧬🦋

@kayla-king.bsky.social and I just wrote a Primer for @currentbiology.bsky.social on the ecology and evolution of virulence!

Check it below and share :)

#MicroSky #EvoSky #pathogens
Ecology and evolution of virulence
Silva and King discuss the concept of virulence and the ecological and evolutionary factors that shape it.

@eseb2025.bsky.social has been such a blast! I presented during the "Evolution of biotic interactions across biotic scales" about host fitness consequences in response to parasitic interactions (1/n)
