Tapeworms don’t just appear inside fish or birds. They travel there. Our latest paper tracks the first step of that journey: detecting parasites in first-intermediate hosts when they are rare + microscopic. We also developed primers/probes to detect parasites across taxa! (1/3)

I got to try my hand at the @esajournals.bsky.social #DiseaseEcologySection logo design for 2026. I've designed 3 logos that will be at #ESA2026 -- public vote will decide the banner holder for the next calendar year. Read more about inspo and design process here: chloefouilloux.com/2025/11/24/e...

Last night's Leonid Meteor shower at peak captured over Stonehenge. The meteor shower was the best one of 2025 and this photograph proves it.

This week I've has a re-occurring fever dream where I am doing stand-up comedy to an audience (who are all horses) and open with: "Why the long faces?"; which is followed by dream-me hysterically laughing while the horses watch silently. I just need to know what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

🐸Poison frog chemical defences are influenced by environmental availability and dietary selectivity for ants ➡️ buff.ly/NyBIPVP
Rodriguez et al., link spatial variation in leaf litter ant communities to frog chemical defences.

Last full moon paddle of the season in Monona Bay. Complete with live music on the water and roasting marshmallows from a kayak. Gotta love Madison. 🍫🌕

A year-long project where I painted a watercolour cat every month. A reason to keep painting, a reason to keep creating. Inspired by travel, friendships, learning, and death.
September cat, the last cat, emerges from a time of grief and reflection. 🐈⬛ ❤️

Interested in #virulence? Not sure what it is - or how to explain it? Just curious? 🧐🦠🧬🦋
@kayla-king.bsky.social and I just wrote a Primer for @currentbiology.bsky.social on the ecology and evolution of virulence!
Check it below and share :)

Ecology and evolution of virulence
Silva and King discuss the concept of virulence and the ecological and evolutionary
factors that shape it.

@eseb2025.bsky.social has been such a blast! I presented during the "Evolution of biotic interactions across biotic scales" about host fitness consequences in response to parasitic interactions (1/n)
