T-helper cell responses in wild Soay sheep are repeatable, positively correlated, and linked to resistance against helminths and coccidia, challenging assumptions about Th1/Th2 trade-offs in natural settings. 📖 Read more: bit.ly/3GCm0PN #VeterinaryImmunology

1/2 Quite an appropiate cartoon if we also think about the new environmental changes Reeves has been proposing to get rid of enviromental regulations. Allowing the indiscriminate killing of protected species like bats is NOT the solution for "growth". Does global climate crisis sound familar? ... 😡

A high lipid diet leads to worse infectious disease outcomes. Interesting implications for wildlife food supplementation. Always exciting to have a new manuscript out! Congrats @ashley-love.bsky.social @sauerscientist.bsky.social @jexpbiol.Bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

A high-lipid diet leads to greater pathology and lower tolerance during infection
Summary: Canaries fed a diet high in lipids show more severe disease outcomes than those fed a high-protein diet, with important implications for human and wildlife disease transmission.

🦇 Bats don't make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to roost. Bats roost in houses but some species prefer hollow trees or caves. In buildings they often shelter behind hanging tiles and boarding or in roof spaces. Learn more: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/where-do-bats-live

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.
