Parental care is a genetic capacitor

Elise Parey, Thomas M. Houslay, Syuan‐Jyun Sun, Angela T Trowsdale, Daria Gavriouchkina, Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley, Rebecca M. Kilner, Ferdinand Marlétaz, Rahia Mashoodh A

This study shows parental care in burying beetles acts as a genetic capacitor, storing and releasing genetic variation in offspring body size through molecular mechanisms involving chaperones and chromatin state.

Phoretic mites as benign passengers: no influence on mate choice in the burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis

Brendan Lan, Tanzil Gaffar Malik, Mu‐Tzu Tsai, Yi‐Ta Wu, Syuan‐Jyun Sun

The paper tests if phoretic mites influence mate choice in burying beetles, finding no effect on female preference or offspring fitness.

Resource Quality Differentially Impacts Daphnia Interactions with Two Parasites

Michelle L. Fearon, Kristel F. Sánchez, Syuan‐Jyun Sun, Siobhan K. Calhoun, Kira J. Monell, Varun Ravichandran, Meghan A. Duffy

This study shows resource quality differentially affects Daphnia interactions with two parasites, influencing infection and proliferation processes but not immune responses.
