Study Snapshot
Key takeawayNematode infection in fig wasps is largely benign, but higher infection levels can reduce lifespan and dispersal success, but this effect is limited to 2.8% of wasps per generation.
PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
