Immune variation and host ontogeny constrain pathogen virulence and transmission in a helminth parasite

Chloe A. Fouilloux, Heather Alexander, Patrick McNamara…·Jessica L. Hite

The paper shows host immune strategies affect parasite transmission timing and magnitude in a helminth parasite, with intermediate parasite burdens maximizing transmission potential.

Heritable morphology-environment correlations among lake populations of threespine stickleback

Alex Yeung, Ben A. Flanagan, Heather Alexander…·Daniel I. Bolnick

The paper reared stickleback embryos from 27 lake populations in a lab to determine if trait-environment correlations reflect heritable evolution or plasticity, finding both heritable and plastic traits.

Constitutive and inducible fibrosis explain immune variation among threespine stickleback populations

Emma S. Choi, Ben A. Flanagan, Heather Alexander…·Amanda K. Hund

The paper investigates immune variation in threespine stickleback populations by analyzing fibrosis responses to parasites and environmental factors.
