Social immunity in a supercolonial invasive ant: Nest structure confers immune function
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 84-96, January 2026.This study provides the first examination of social immunity in a supercolonial ant subject to attack by a specialist internally infecting pathogen. It is also the first study to directly manipulate the nest template to see how space shapes the outcome of social immune behaviours.

Multiple losses of sex within a single genus of Microsporidia
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Most asexual eukaryotic lineages have arisen recently from sexual ancestors and contain few ecologically distinct species, providing evidence for long-term advantages of sex. Ancient asexual lineages provide rare exceptions to this rule and so
