Merging behavioral and disease ecology: Insights from vampire bats

This seminar explores how animal behavior is both influences and is shaped by infections. Drawing on research from our lab, we’ll examine how infections affect social relationships, pathogen manipulation of hosts, and how cross-species interactions could drive disease dynamics between vampire bats and livestock.
