DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4110
Abstract: Bees provide important ecological services, and many species are threatened globally, yet our knowledge of wild bee ecology and evolution is limited. While evolving from carnivorous ancestors, bees had to develop strategies for coping with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mib.2019.12.004
Abstract: Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) and Burkholderia mallei (Bm) cause the often-lethal infectious diseases melioidosis and glanders, respectively. Curiously, closely related species within the Bp complex share a nearly identical arsenal of virulence traits, yet are harmless… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/bly056
Abstract: Animals rarely move through their natural habitat without experiencing an environmental perturbation, such as an obstacle or drop in height. However, rapid perturbations due to mass changes are little studied, and these can have significant… read more here.
