Sugar-rich larval diet promotes lower adult pathogen load and higher survival after infection in a polyphagous fly Open
Nutrition is a central factor influencing immunity and resistance to infection, but the extent to which nutrition during development affects adult responses to infections is poorly understood. Our study investigated how the nutritional com…

A comparative study of anthropogenic antimicrobial pollution on Australia’s little penguins Open
This thesis presents a synthesis of the literature on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wildbirds, in order to ascertain whether there are any traits, physiological or ecological, that are associated with the acquisition and retention of r…

Density-by-diet interactions during larval development shape adult life-history trait expression and fitness in a polyphagous fly Open
Habitat quality early in life determines individual fitness, with possible long-term evolutionary effects on groups and populations. In holometabolous insects, larval ecology plays a major role in determining the expression of traits in ad…

Transgenerational Effects of Parental Diet on Offspring Development and Disease Resistance in Flies Open
The environmental conditions experienced by parents influence next generations, with the parental nutritional status playing an important role in shaping offspring phenotypes. Our understanding of transgenerational effects of parental diet…

Developmental Stage-Specific Microbiota Profile of a Polyphagous Fly<strong> </strong> Open
Gut bacteria play a key role in insect fitness, but the changes in gut microbiome profile across developmental stages of holometabolous insects remains little explored. Understanding changes in the microbiome across life stages is an impor…

Larval foraging decisions in competitive heterogeneous environments accommodate diets that support egg-to-adult development in a polyphagous fly Open
In holometabolous insects, larval nutrition is a key factor underpinning development and fitness. Heterogeneity in the nutritional environment and larval competition can force larvae to forage in suboptimal diets, with potential downstream…
