Parasites, by definition, have a negative effect on their host. However, in wild mammal
health and conservation research, sub‐lethal infections are commonly assumed to have …

Our long co-evolutionary history with infectious agents likely began soon after the rise of the
first single-celled organisms. This ongoing evolutionary arms race has generated complex …

An animal's social behaviour both influences and changes in response to its parasites. Here
we consider these bidirectional links between host social behaviours and parasite infection …

Fevers are considered an adaptive response by the host to infection. For gregarious
animals, however, fever and the associated sickness behaviors may signal a temporary loss …

Animals are hypothesized to search their environments in predictable ways depending on
the distribution of resources. Evenly distributed foods are thought to be best exploited with …

Understanding the drivers of sociality is a major goal in biology. Individual differences in
social connections determine the overall group structure and have consequences for a …

Social interactions are important in everyday life for primates and many other group-living
animals; however, these essential exchanges also provide opportunities for parasites to …

Here, I provide the first direct estimate of the spontaneous mutation rate in an Old World
monkey, using a seven individual, three-generation pedigree of African green monkeys …

Many instances of sickness critically involve the immune system. The immune system talks
to the brain in a bidirectional loop. This discourse affords the immune system immense …

Animal social networks are often used to describe dynamic social systems, where individual
behaviour generates network‐level structures that subsequently influence individual‐level …
