Parasites have memory? 🚨 Our #preprint on bioRxiv explores how #epigenetic regulation shapes #transcriptomic plasticity in #Plasmodium homocircumflexum! 🧬🦠 Instead of random adaptation, gene expression follows a fascinating transition over time. 👀👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🔬 Our review compiles 35 studies examining the antimicrobial effects of uropygial secretions across #bird species. We found that these secretions are generally more effective against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria & fungi. 🦠🦜 #AvianBiology

🐦 However, research gaps remain! Most studies focus on a few bird species & use different methods, making comparisons difficult. Standardized approaches & broader taxonomic sampling are needed to fully understand the protective role of uropygial secretions. 🦠🔬
