Microsporidian coinfection reduces fitness of a fungal pathogen due to rapid host mortality

M. K. Dziuba, K. M. McIntire, E. S. Davenport, E. Baird, C. Huerta, R. Jaye, F. E. Corcoran, P. McCreadie, T. Nelson, M. A. Duffy

The paper shows that coinfection with two pathogens reduces host survival but limits the spread of the more virulent pathogen, suggesting potential population-level benefits.

Phylogeny, morphology, virulence, ecology, and host range of Ordospora pajunii (Ordosporidae), a microsporidian symbiont of Daphnia spp.

M. K. Dziuba, K. M. McIntire, K. Seto, E. S. Davenport, M. A. Rogalski, C. D. Gowler, E. Baird, M. Vaandrager, C. Huerta, R. Jaye, F. E. Corcoran, A. Withrow, S. Ahrendt, A. Salamov, M. Nolan, , M. A. Duffy

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

Using X-ray microtomography to uncover the visual world of ancient and historical insects

G. J. Taylor, S. A. Hall, J. A. Gren, E. Baird

This paper develops an X-ray microtomography method to analyze insect eyes and investigates how fungus gnats evolved visual specializations for different forest habitats over 30 million years.

Using micro-CT techniques to explore the role of sex and hair in the functional morphology of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) ocelli

D. Wilby, T. Aarts, P. Tichit, A. Bodey, C. Rau, G. Taylor, E. Baird

This study uses micro-CT and ray-tracing to analyze bumblebee ocelli, finding that hair affects their field of view and there is little sexual dimorphism in their visual fields.
