Hybridization and Immunology in Animals: A Review
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Hybridization can reshape immune function by introducing novel genetic variation and combining parental immune traits. Across animal taxa, this process may influence resistance, tolerance, and pathogen dynamics, with important implications for disease ecology and One Health.

Conquering the crush: A novel tool for holding crocodilian jaws open
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 3, September 2024.Crocodilians possess the strongest bite force of all extant animals, and this jaw‐closing pressure poses a challenge and safety risk for people working with them. We designed and tested a device for holding alligator jaws open that allows for safe positioning within the mouth and is adaptable to both widen and collapse the gape of the mouth.

Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 308-323, June 2024.Understanding hybridization is key for conservation of wild species, yet it is still a controversial issue in conservation. We discern geographic and temporal patterns of introgression, migration, and demography for Crocodylus acutus, C. moreletii, and their hybrid lineages.
