Patterns of association between mothers and offspring and their outcomes in a polygynous ungulate

The paper examines mother-offspring association patterns in red deer, finding that prolonged association benefits female calves and yearlings but may reduce adult lifespan.

Fitness costs of parasitism depend on fine-scale density and resource availability in a wild ungulate

This study examines how parasitism, density, and resource availability interact to affect survival and fecundity in wild red deer across their lifespan.

Warmer world gets sicker: meta-analysis reveals strong increase in parasitism at elevated temperatures across diverse host-parasite systems

This study meta-analyzes 775 effect sizes from 124 studies to show elevated temperatures increase parasitism in many host-parasite systems, with varied responses across taxa.

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response

This study investigates the factors shaping immune response variation in odonates across two biomes, finding that climate, particularly precipitation, has the strongest influence.

Parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in wild red deer

This study investigates parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in red deer, finding three pathways linking inbreeding to reduced fitness through parasitism.

Population density drives increased parasitism via greater exposure and reduced resource availability in wild hosts

This study shows that higher host population density increases parasite counts through both greater exposure and reduced resource availability in red deer.
