Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Understanding the interacting factors that lead to pathogen transmission in a zoonotic cycle could help identify novel hosts of pathogens and the patterns that lead to disease emergence. We use parasite ecology, phylogenetics, and geography to predict known and unknown hosts of hantavirus.

Spatial patterning of prey at reproduction to reduce predation risk: what drives dispersion from groups? [PDF]
, 2016 Group living is a widespread behavior thought to be an evolutionary adaptation for reducing predation risk. Many group-living species, however, spend a portion of their life cycle as dispersed individuals, suggesting that the costs and benefits of these ...

Music preference in degus (Octodon degus): Analysis with Chilean folk music.
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2018 Most nonhuman animals do not show selective preference for types of music, but researchers have typically employed only Western classical music in such studies. Thus, there has been bias in music choice.

Transcription factor NFE2L2/NRF2 is a regulator of macroautophagy genes [PDF]
, 2016 Autophagy is a highly coordinated process that is controlled at several levels including transcriptional regulation. Here, we identify the transcription factor NFE2L2/NRF2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2) as a regulator of autophagy gene expression ...
