Living with relatives offsets the harm caused by pathogens in natural populations

H. M. Bensch, E. A. O'Connor, C. K. Cornwallis

The paper shows that living with relatives can reduce mortality from pathogens in species that typically live with kin, but increases mortality when pathogens are common.

Early-life gut dysbiosis linked to mass mortality in ostriches

E. Videvall, S. J. Song, H. M. Bensch, M. Strandh, A. Engelbrecht, N. Serfontein, O. Hellgren, A. Olivier, S. Cloete, R. Knight, C. K. Cornwallis

The paper links early-life gut dysbiosis in ostriches to mass mortality by showing distinct microbial composition in deceased individuals compared to controls and the early presence of pathobionts.
