A high lipid diet leads to worse infectious disease outcomes. Interesting implications for wildlife food supplementation. Always exciting to have a new manuscript out! Congrats @ashley-love.bsky.social @sauerscientist.bsky.social

A high-lipid diet leads to greater pathology and lower tolerance during infection
Summary: Canaries fed a diet high in lipids show more severe disease outcomes than those fed a high-protein diet, with important implications for human and wildlife disease transmission.

🦇 Bats don't make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to roost. Bats roost in houses but some species prefer hollow trees or caves. In buildings they often shelter behind hanging tiles and boarding or in roof spaces.

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.
