Journal Article
Nicholson, D. J., Knell, R. J., McCrea, R. S., Neel, L. K., Curlis, J. D., Williams, C. E., …Logan, M. L. (2022). Climate anomalies and competition reduce establishment success during island colonization. Ecology and Evolution, 12(10), Article e9402. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9402

Understanding the factors that facilitate or constrain establishment of populations in novel environments is crucial for conservation biology and the study of adaptive radiation. Important questions include: (1) Does the timing of colonization relati... Read More about Climate anomalies and competition reduce establishment success during island colonization.

The impact of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the epidemiology of male-killing bacteria (2022)
Journal Article
Fisher, A. M., Knell, R. J., Price, T. A., & Bonsall, M. B. (2022). The impact of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the epidemiology of male-killing bacteria. Oikos, 2022(12), Article e09392. https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.09392

Many arthropod species are vulnerable to infection by bacteria that kill the male offspring of their female hosts. These male-killing bacteria (MKB) can greatly impact the ecology and evolution of their hosts, particularly when MKB prevalence is high...
