Description:The Department of Biology welcomes students\, faculty\, and com
 munity members to an upcoming seminar with guest speaker\, Dr. James Adelm
 an\, Associate Professor with The University of Memphis. Dr. Adelman\\'s t
 alk\, \"Heterogenous Responses to Infection: Causes and Consequences in a 
 Wildlife Disease System\,\" explores why animals vary so widely in their r
 esponses to infectious disease and offers an in-depth look at the mechanis
 ms and evolutionary pressures that shape these differences within a real-w
 orld wildlife disease system.\n\nEvent Details\nDate: Tuesday\, February 1
 0\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 PM–5:00 PM\nLocation: Biology 136\n\nProfessor Adel
 man’s research investigates how species\, populations\, and individuals 
 cope differently with infection\, using house finches infected with the em
 erging bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum as a model system. His 
 seminar will highlight variation in infection tolerance and examine the re
 productive trade-offs that accompany illness\, ultimately illustrating how
  these factors shape pathogen transmission and evolutionary dynamics in wi
 ldlife disease systems.\n\nStudents\, researchers\, and faculty at all lev
 els are encouraged to attend. Whether you are early in your academic journ
 ey or pursuing advanced work in biology\, this seminar provides a welcomin
 g space to learn\, ask questions\, and engage with research at the interse
 ction of physiology\, evolution\, and disease ecology.\n\nHost: Anping Che

 ty\n\nAbstract\nNo two species\, populations\, or individuals respond to i
 nfection in precisely the same way. My lab seeks to uncover both mechanist
 ic and evolutionary explanations for this pattern in a recently emerged wi
 ldlife disease system: house finches infected with the bacterial pathogen\
 , Mycoplasma gallisepticum. This talk will focus on variation in tolerance
  of infection (minimizing costs\, but not necessarily minimizing pathogen 
 load) and reproductive trade-offs during infection\, with the ultimate goa
 l of understanding what these mean for pathogen transmission and evolution
