Genetic integration of behavioural and endocrine components of the stress response

T. M. Houslay, R. L. Earley, S. J. White, W. Lammers, A. J. Grimmer, L. Travers, E. Johnson, A. J. Young, A. J. Wilson

This study shows that acute stress response traits in Trinidadian guppies are heritable and genetically integrated, suggesting potential for artificial selection to improve health and welfare in captive populations.

Individual differences in spatial learning are correlated across cognitive tasks but not associated with stress response behaviour in the Trinidadian guppy

P. M. Prentice, C. Mnatzaganian, T. M. Houslay, A. Thornton, A. J. Wilson

The paper tests if spatial learning ability in Trinidadian guppies correlates with stress response behaviour, finding no association but repeatable individual differences in learning.

Habituation and individual variation in the endocrine stress response in the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

T. M. Houslay, R. L. Earley, A. J. Young, A. J. Wilson

This study shows Trinidadian guppies habituate quickly to repeated stress exposure and exhibit consistent individual differences in their endocrine stress response.

Host shifts result in parallel genetic changes when viruses evolve in closely related species

B. Longdon, J. P. Day, J. M. Alves, S. C. Smith, T. M. Houslay, J. E. McGonigle, L. Tagliaferri, F. M. Jiggins

This study shows that viruses evolving in closely related host species undergo parallel genetic changes, suggesting that adaptation to one host may enhance fitness in related hosts.

Social interactions within the family enhance the capacity for evolutionary change

B. J. M. Jarrett, M. Schrader, D. Rebar, T. M. Houslay, R. M. Kilner

The paper shows that social interactions in burying beetles affect evolutionary responses to selection, with care enhancing increases in size and conflict limiting it.

Vertically transmitted rhabdoviruses are found across three insect families and have dynamic interactions with their hosts

B. Longdon, J. Day, N. Schulz, P. T. Leftwich, M. A. de Jong, C. J. Breuker, M. Gibbs, D. J. Obbard, L. Wilfert, S. C. Smith, J. E. McGonigle, T. M. Houslay, L. I. Wright, L. Livraghi, L. C. Evans, , F. M. Jiggins

The paper identifies vertically transmitted rhabdoviruses in three insect species and shows they spread rapidly through host populations with high maternal transmission rates.
