Excited about this new paper studying competition between lipid-scavenging #parasitoids sharing the same host. The later-arriving species shifts to #hyperparasitism to ensure sufficient resources. Don't miss the amazing photos!

So proud of this paper led by MSc student Jasmin Merkel!
It shows the long-term detrimental effects of high sugar diet and the lack of evolutionary adaptation to it. This is in insects but humans probably don't fare much better...
