We are accepting proposals for a Special Feature celebrating 100 years since the publication of Charles Elton's Animal Ecology. We're interested in contributions that return to Elton’s text and use it as a starting point to ask what we have learned over the past century. buff.ly/PMAqfUC

A promise is a promise. Now, you can read about my research explained in plain English, listen to the #coqui #frog from #PuertoRico, and see how tiny they are at hatching. You can access the articles published today in #TheConversation.

Young frogs prioritize rapid growth over immune defense, only shifting energy toward fighting infection when disease becomes severe. The study shows how these energy trade-offs—shaped by environmental conditions and timing—affect survival, development, and broader population health.

🚨New publication alert🚨 Life starts as a 👾strategy-game under pathogen pressure: grow or fight. We show that 🐸investing ⚡energy into growth during mild 🦠infections can 📈increase fitness, but whether this pays off depends on the ☀️❄️season they hatch. #coqui #chytrid #PuertoRico #science #infection

❗️New paper alert❗️ We did a huge evolution experiment to study the effect of high fat and high sugar diet in housefly. High sugar diet causes the loss of beneficial microbiota and lower developmental success. #evolution #microbiome academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

For a while now, @lauradee.bsky.social and I have been working on a guide to introduce Ecologists to causal inference tools for observational data that has problematic unobserved confounding variables lurking in the background. And now it's up as a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
