This project investigates how social groups, particularly flour beetles, manage disease risks through behavioral and genetic adaptations. By manipulating group dynamics and studying olfactory cues, the research aims to enhance understanding of group disease defenses and their impact on social evolution.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the drawbacks of living socially; increased contact and high host density encourage the spread of disease in social groups, compared to those living solitary.
Social interactions promote disease spread, but how do animal groups deal with the increased risk of epidemics?
The goal of this proposal is to identify key factors governing disease management in groups, so as to enhance our understanding of how behavioural host defences and immunity evolve.
