🧪 New paper out at Molecular Ecology! We find that diet quality impacts host ability to tolerate infection and use transcriptomics to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying these diet-driven differences. This was a fun collab between @durantlab.bsky.social & @lewislab.bsky.social labs.
Diet Driven Differences in Host Tolerance Are Linked to Shifts in Global Gene Expression in a Common Avian Host‐Pathogen System
Wildlife have become increasingly dependent on anthropogenic resources, altering interactions between individuals and subsequently disease transmission. Further, nutritional quantity and quality impa....

A high lipid diet leads to worse infectious disease outcomes. Interesting implications for wildlife food supplementation. Always exciting to have a new manuscript out! Congrats @ashley-love.bsky.social @sauerscientist.bsky.social

A high-lipid diet leads to greater pathology and lower tolerance during infection
Summary: Canaries fed a diet high in lipids show more severe disease outcomes than those fed a high-protein diet, with important implications for human and wildlife disease transmission.

I was unintentionally killing a plant. About 2 months ago, I placed it on the “Free Table” with a help me sign. The plant disappeared. Look what showed up on the Free Table today! The note😍🌿
