Amanda Hund

Visiting Research Faculty at Carleton College. I study host-parasite interactions, behavior, sexual selection, and evolution. Opinions are my own.

@richmeisel @DanielBolnick Because of the curve of the canoe the bow hits the roof of the truck. Believe me- this was optimized after much trial and error and was the best option :)

Shout-out to my dad who spent his 65th birthday helping me with a butterfly experiment.

@JoeyKHubbard People are the worst :(

@DanielBolnick Was so hard to narrow it down to ten min! So much cool new stuff that I am still trying to understand :)

@DanielBolnick For more about different parasite strategies and interactions check out Dan’s on demand talk!

@DanielBolnick Same!! Have been trying for the past 35 min

@LabSafran Thanks Becca :)

@ACChurchill_Eco @CedarCreekESR @USLTER Great opportunity for some undergraduate research!

2)Investment in color leads to decreased survival when males are infected with Plasmodium

3)Behavior likely drives the color-nest mite link with attractive males defending parasite-free territories

4)Sexual signal evolution shaped by different links with multiple parasites!

[Amanda Hund @AmandaHund]

Excited to share a new paper out in Animal Behaviour! With @JoeyKHubbard, @LabSafran, Pavel Mungclinger, Simona Krausová

Highlights: 1) Attractive males (darker in color) have fewer mites in their nests but more Plasmodium infections.

@LaurenFuess @Basti_St_ Really excellent talk! Talking about vampire bat sickness behaviors the day before Halloween during a pandemic- too perfect
