The paper introduces TAUS, a survival analysis method that avoids proportional hazards and parametric assumptions, enabling comparison of survival probabilities across populations with different age structures and life histories.

This study investigates how environmental factors affect vaccine responsiveness in wild and lab wood mice, finding diet and helminth infection significantly impact antibody production.

This study shows helminth infection increases susceptibility to gammaherpesvirus in wood mice, with anthelmintic treatment reducing viral infection and improved nutrition mitigating this effect.

This study shows resource supplementation affects parasite infection dynamics and host behavior in wild wood mice, with mixed effects across 12 parasite taxa.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

This paper develops an epigenetic clock for wild wood mice to estimate age and ageing rates, showing slower ageing in supplemented and parasite-treated individuals.

This study examines how manipulating food availability and parasite burden affects faecal corticosterone levels in wood mice, finding no direct impact but suggesting potential indirect effects.

This paper uses mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to accurately estimate the sex and age of tsetse flies, offering a fast and reliable alternative to current labor-intensive methods.

This study improves mosquito age prediction from mid-infrared spectra using transfer learning and dimensionality reduction, achieving high accuracy across different populations.

This paper uses mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to accurately predict malaria mosquito species and age structure, offering a fast and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods.

This paper compares genomes of 81 nematode and platyhelminth species to identify gene families related to parasitism and prioritize new drug targets.
