AWESOME!!! SO WELL DESERVED 😄💕🐦‍🔥🌞

Local adaptation? Coevolution? There are some really interesting dynamics at play here that I can't wait to sink my teeth into. I am currently waiting on some funding decisions, but if this sounds fun or cool or anything in between please reach out! (3/3) Thank you so much to the organizers!

At the Hite Lab (UW Madison, USA) we find that hosts are castrated by parasitic tapeworms and the exposed females maximise their terminal investment. These effects are both sex and strain specific giving rise to super cool implications for infection and population dynamics (2/n)

Also per my personal tradition, I got away with yet another fun Acknowledgements section. Which is really what it's all about. If reading a methods paper isn't exciting you, I'm always pumped to give a lay summary on my website: chloefouilloux.com/2025/06/13/w... (3/3) 👨‍🎤🎸

So if you work with helminths and wild populations 🪱, this is the cool beans for you! We are so excited to share this OA work with you just published at Molecular Ecology Resources 🪳🧬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... (2/3)
