Listen "Dealing with Disease in Animal Collectives"
Episode Synopsis
Many social animals live in groups that appear to be relatively unaffected by disease. But just how is this possible? And what could we, humans, learn from the way that animals deal with disease? To find out, in this episode of OxPods, Alex Rodway, biology master’s student at Jesus College, will be interviewing Dr Chris Pull, whose research looks at the ways in which animal collectives have evolved avoidance, resistance and tolerance strategies to mitigate the damaging effects of disease.
