🪱🦠🦇🔮🧬 Delighted to see our work published in @molecology.bsky.social We found that parasite identity is the strongest driver of helminth-associated microbiomes. Every parasite hosts its own microbial world! 🔬✨🌎
Macrodinychus multispinosus is a mite that parasitises the longhorn crazy ant, but it does so in a very specific way.
The mite latches onto developing ant pupae and suck out their lifeblood before they have a chance to develop into adults.

There are plenty of reasons to believe that parasite populations will respond to biodiversity loss, warming, pollution, and other forms of global change. But will global change enhance transmission, i...
How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Ruiz-Torres et al. examine the drivers of microbiome composition among helminth parasites in a bat host. Parasite identity plays a key role in structuring parasite-associated microbiomes, even within a shared host environment.
