The rise of antibiotic resistance demands the acceleration of molecular diversification
strategies to inspire new chemical entities for antibiotic medicines. We report here on the …

Currently, the deployment of tracking devices is one of the most frequently used approaches
to study movement ecology of birds. Recent miniaturization of light‐level geolocators …

Group‐living in animals comes with a number of benefits associated with predator
avoidance, foraging, and reproduction. A large proportion of fish species display grouping …

Lymphocytes and heterophils are the two most abundant leucocyte types, which play a
major role in adaptive and innate immune defence, respectively. The ratio of heterophils to …

Predators typically are larger than their prey, and consequently, trophic level should
increase with body size. Whereas this relationship has helped in developing predictions …

Aim Identifying barriers that govern parasite community assembly and parasite invasion risk
is critical to understand how shifting host ranges impact disease emergence. We studied …

Identifying the factors shaping variation in parasite diversity among host species is crucial to
understand wildlife diseases. Although micro‐and macroparasites may exert different …

The loss of previously adaptive traits is typically linked to relaxation in selection, yet the
molecular steps leading to such repeated losses are rarely known. Molecular studies of loss …

Urbanization alters natural habitats, restructures biotic communities and serves as a filter for
selecting species from regional species pools. However, empirical evidence of the specific …

The functional relevance of microbiota is a key aspect for understanding host–microbiota
interactions. Mammalian skin harbours a complex consortium of beneficial microorganisms …
