In Beijing hosted by Changlong Shu. He is researching how to use white grubs to process crop residues that are currently incinerated. The frass can go back to land to boost organic carbon while the bugs can be used for animal feed.

I spent a long time developing a good gut infection model in insects to test AMR theory. My excellent ex student Elissa has just had this test of cooperative detoxification published using this model as well as biofuels etc. There’s lots in here!

When does antimicrobial resistance increase bacterial fitness? Effects of dosing, social interactions, and frequency dependence on the benefits of AmpC β-lactamases in broth, biofilms, and a gut infec...
Abstract. One of the longstanding puzzles of antimicrobial resistance is why the frequency of resistance persists at intermediate levels. Theoretical expla

Congrats Hongbo! 1st PhD paper with @blongdon.bsky.social & @benraymond.bsky.social.
#Pathogen host shift modelling w/ #bacteria infections across a 36-species panel. Great dataset and analysis to start teasing apart the rules of host*pathogen dynamics across species.

Our new study investigates the evolution of virulence of a fungal entomopathogen in vivo. Through a lens of evolutionary theory, we explore multi-level selection, revealing conflicts and potential for improving biocontrol traits! @benraymond.bsky.social
