New paper: A comprehensive fitness landscape reveals context-dependent oviposition strategies in flour beetles

We are starting 2023 on a great footing, with a new paper reporting a lot of really nice work by Vrinda and Gaurav. For a long time we have been puzzled by seemingly maladaptive oviposition behaviours of female flour beetles faced with different resource options. By carefully manipulating egg allocation across resource patches, we were... Continue Reading →

New paper: Explaining population level variation in immune priming

Here's the latest from Imroze and Arun. A couple years ago we had found surprising levels of variability in immune memory ("priming"), across 10 wild-collected flour beetle populations (Khan et al 2016, Ecology and Evolution). In our new follow-up paper, we figured out what may explain this variation, by systematically analysing change in various fitness... Continue Reading →
