Transmission Stages Dominate Trypanosome Within-Host Dynamics during Chronic Infections
Sleeping sickness is characterized by waves of the extracellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei in host blood, with infections continuing for months or years until inevitable host death. These waves reflect the dynamic conflict between the outgrowth of a succession of parasite antigenic variants and their control by the host immune system. Although a contributor to these dynamics is the density-de...
متن کاملNectar bacteria, but not yeast, weaken a plant-pollinator mutualism.
Mutualistic interactions are often subject to exploitation by species that are not directly involved in the mutualism. Understanding which organisms act as such 'third-party' species and how they do so is a major challenge in the current study of mutualistic interactions. Here, we show that even species that appear ecologically similar can have contrasting effects as third-party species. We exp...
متن کاملFast but not intuitive, slow but not reflective: Decision conflict drives reaction times in social dilemmas.
When people have the chance to help others at a cost to themselves, are cooperative decisions driven by intuition or reflection? To answer this question, recent studies have tested the relationship between reaction times (RTs) and cooperation, reporting both positive and negative correlations. To reconcile this apparent contradiction, we argue that decision conflict (rather than the use of intu...

متن کاملEusociality but not fossoriality drives longevity in small mammals.
I respond to Williams and Shattuck’s comments regarding the importance of eusociality on the longevity of fossorial species [1]. Williams and Shattuck extend our analysis [2] by compiling further data on fossorial and terrestrial mammals (less than 60 kg) and including eusociality as an additional factor in their analyses. They find that both eusociality and fossoriality are associated with inc...
