Microbiome‐mediated immunity: Limited support from the gazelle dung beetle
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Digitonthophagus gazella rely on a maternally inherited microbiome passed across generations via a maternal faecal pellet called the pedestal. We experimentally manipulated the presence of the pedestal, providing it to some individuals while withholding it from others to determine how pedestal microbiota may affect beetle immune potential.

Spinoza on Humans as Social Animals
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Spinoza repeatedly suggests that humans are set apart from other animals by their rational and moral abilities. Yet he disparages the traditional definition of the human as a ‘rational animal’ and several of his other views suggest that these abilities are not sufficient by themselves to characterize human nature.

Was there ever an Animal Dasein? Heidegger's Concept of Life in the 1924 Aristotle Lecture
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This essay examines Heidegger's interpretation of the Aristotelian concept of life in his 1924 lecture Basic Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy. While scholars have emphasized the text's decisive role in the preparation of Being and Time, their readings have largely centered on the notions of praxis and human existence.
