Caroline and Leila have a new paper in press with Evolution “Genetic variation in parasite avoidance, yet no evidence for constitutive fitness costs” which lays the foundation for testing theory Caroline has been developing on the evolution of parasite avoidance.
And check out our new paper in Evolutionary Applications “Do biological control agents adapt to local pest genotypes? A multi-year test across geographic scales” – coauthored with Fabiane, Abbey, and our collaborator Patty. This answers a long-standing question on local adaptation of Pasteuria penetrans to Meloidogyne hosts, with implications for use of P. penetrans as a biological control.
Well done everyone!
