Pre-holiday preprint! We experimentally manipulated resource availability in a wild rodent population and found pervasive effects on host biology and diverse effects across the parasite community in a naturally co-infected host. Check it out!

Delighted to have this preprint out! It's been a long time in the works, involved a lot of fun discussion, and was a wonderful collaboration with Colin & Cecilia to get it from conception to final form.
