DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.02.002
Abstract: Cooperation is a ubiquitous behavior in many biological systems and is well-known for promoting Allee effects. However, few studies have paid attention to mechanisms inducing Allee effects in predators. Here, we focus on hunting cooperation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwad046
Abstract: COVID-19 vaccines are highly efficacious at preventing symptomatic infection, severe disease, and death. Most of the evidence that COVID-19 vaccines also reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is based on retrospective, observational studies. Specifically, an increasing number… read more here.

Association Between Population-Level Factors and Household Secondary Attack Rate of SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Open Forum Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac676
Abstract: Abstract Background Accurate estimation of household secondary attack rate (SAR) is crucial to understand the transmissibility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The impact of population-level factors, such as transmission intensity in the… read more here.

Noise‐induced reduction in the attack rate of a planktivorous freshwater fish revealed by functional response analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Freshwater Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/fwb.13271
Abstract: Anthropogenic noise can affect animals physically, physiologically, and behaviourally. Although individual responses to noise are well documented, the consequences in terms of community structure, species coexistence, and ecosystem functioning remain fairly unknown. The impact of… read more here.

Neutralizing Antibodies Correlate with Protection from SARS-CoV-2 in Humans during a Fishery Vessel Outbreak with a High Attack Rate
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Clinical Microbiology"
DOI: 10.1128/jcm.02107-20
Abstract: The development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 would be greatly facilitated by the identification of immunological correlates of protection in humans. However, to date, studies on protective immunity have been performed only in animal models and… read more here.
