Disease can shape ecosystem nutrient recycling -- new paper out early online from a fab SESYNC math-ecology collab with Angie L Peace @RachelPaseka @e_seabloom Angelica L. Gonzalez @DedmerW @thijsfrenken Alex Strauss @LAWhite_Ecology L Asik & R Everett doi.org/10.1002/ecm.15…

Such a cool paper! Interested in disease driven trophic cascades or want to learn about a fascinating outcome, the 'hydra effect', which can actually INCREASE host density during epidemics? Take a look!!!! Awesome work Jason Walsman . Beautiful blend of experiment and theory.

Please RT! The Strauss lab Odum School of Ecology (strausslab.ecology.uga.edu) is hiring a full-time lab manager for research in aquatic community & disease ecology. Job includes field, lab & mesocosm work w/ zooplankton & parasites. Start date ASAP. ugajobsearch.com/postings/264578 Bulletin ESA

i'm looking for a new PhD student at OU Dept. of Biology to start Fall 2023 via a new cohort with The Verena Institute . projects can span bat immunology, fieldwork in Belize and OK/TX, virus coevolution, habitat change, bat migration, predicting hosts, etc. please RT! beckerlab.weebly.com/join.html


Awesome work Jason Walsman !!! Jason uses elegant math to explain a puzzling result from a previous mesocosm experiment: hosts evolved to become MORE susceptible to infection during epidemics. Why? Read to find out!!!

Come join us in the Odum School Odum School of Ecology!!! Two open faculty positions in disease ecology:


I'm recruiting one or two PhD students to join the Strauss lab at Odum School of Ecology! If you are interested in asking conceptually motivated questions about the community ecology of infectious disease, I'd love to hear form you! #graduateschool #ecology #disease
