High mortality associated with parasitism in geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia
American Journal of Primatology
Used 10 years of longitudinal data and survival models to demonstrate high fitness costs incurred by wild monkeys infected with the tapeworm parasite Taenia serialis.

Identifying wildlife reservoirs of neglected taeniid tapeworms: non-invasive diagnosis of endemic Taenia serialis infection in wild primates
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases
We reviewed the literature on the global distribution of the tapeworm parasite Taenia serialis and demonstrated the effectiveness of a new antigen test for detecting the parasite from dried urine samples.

A critical comment on the ‘multiple variance Brownian motion’model of Smaers et al. (2016).
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
Used simulations to evaluate a recently published statistical method for reconstructing the evolutionary history of traits on a phylogenetic tree.

Mosquitoes of Field and Forest: The Scale of Habitat Segregation in a Diverse Mosquito Assemblage
Medical and Veterinary Entomology
Used multivariate ordination and generalized linear mixed effects models to assess the fine-scale habitat preferences of mosquito species in North Carolina.

Genetic basis for a rare floral mutant in an Andean species of Solanaceae
American Journal of Botany
We used a functional genetics approach to identify the genetic mutation responsible for producing a rare white-flower morph of the flowering plant Iochroma calycinum.

The Independent Evolution method is not a viable phylogenetic comparative method
PLoS ONE
Used computer simulations to evaluate a recently published statistical method for reconstructing the evolutionary history of traits on a phylogenetic tree.

Does habitat disturbance increase infectious disease risk for primates?
Ecology Letters
Used quantitative meta-analysis to evaluate whether environmental disturbance by humans increases the risk of parasite infection in wild primates.

Evolutionary Disequilibrium and Activity Period in Primates: A Bayesian Phylogenetic Approach
American Journal of Physical Anthropology
Used Bayesian phylogenetic comparative methods to reconstruct the evolutionary history of activity pattern in primates.
Other authorsSee publication -
Phylogenetic host specificity and understanding parasite sharing in primates

Used phylogenetic comparative methods to evaluate whether wild primate species with similar ecological characteristics have similar parasite communities.
Other authorsSee publication -
Community structure and the spread of infectious disease in primate social networks.
Evolutionary Ecology
Evaluated the relationship between social network structure and parasite risk in wild primate social groups using simulations and empirical data.
