Microbial warfare and the evolution of symbiosis (2022)
Journal Article
Patel, M., & West, S. (2022). Microbial warfare and the evolution of symbiosis. Biology Letters, 18(12), Article 20220447. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0447

Cooperative symbionts enable their hosts to exploit a diversity of environments. A low genetic diversity (high relatedness) between the symbionts within a host is thought to favour cooperation by reducing conflict within the host. However, hosts will...

Visual odometry of Rhinecanthus aculeatus depends on the visual density of the environment (2022)
Journal Article
Karlsson, C., Willis, J., Patel, M., & de Perera, T. B. (2022). Visual odometry of Rhinecanthus aculeatus depends on the visual density of the environment. Communications Biology, 5(1), Article 1045. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-022-03925-5

Distance travelled is a crucial metric that underpins an animal’s ability to navigate in the short-range. While there is extensive research on how terrestrial animals measure travel distance, it is unknown how animals navigating in aquatic environmen...
