Quantifying the strength of viral fitness tradeoffs between hosts: A meta-analysis of pleiotropic fitness effects

X. M. Wang, J. Muller, M. McDowell, D. A. Rasmussen

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of viral mutation fitness effects across hosts, finding positive pleiotropy is common and fitness effects are positively correlated between hosts.

Sahul's megafauna were vulnerable to plant-community changes due to their position in the trophic network

J. Llewelyn, G. S. Strona, M. McDowell, C. Johnson, K. Peters, D. B. Stouffer, S. N. de Visser, F. B. Saltre, C. J. A. Bradshaw

The paper investigates whether trophic cascades contributed to megafauna extinctions in Sahul by analyzing pre-extinction trophic networks and finding that extinct species were more vulnerable to cascades and new predators.
