This study examines how gastrointestinal parasites affect survival and longevity but not reproduction in wild female spotted hyenas, finding that parasite infections and immune responses reduce survival to adulthood.

The paper analyzes ARGs in wild house mice to show that agricultural land use and livestock exposure increase mobile ARG occurrence.

The paper investigates gut microbiome-mucosal immunity interactions in wild spotted hyenas, finding age-dependent associations and identifying key taxa influencing these relationships.

The paper examines how host subspecies divergence, hybridisation, and spatial environment influence microbiome composition in house mice, finding that host genetics shape microbiome similarity more than hybridisation.
