Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mackenzie Hoogshagen's research investigates interactions between hosts, symbionts, and parasites, with a focus on monarch butterflies and social amoeba populations. Hoogshagen has published work exploring how milkweed cardenolides can protect monarch butterflies from parasites and how host diet and genetics influence parasite infection outcomes in these butterflies. Additionally, Hoogshagen's work examines the complexities of inferring symbiont function, specifically focusing on Paraburkholderia symbiont dynamics in social amoeba communities and their impact on the amoeba microbiota. This includes research into the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of chlamydiae endosymbionts within social amoeba host communities and the roles of dispersal limitation and pre-adaptation in shaping Paraburkholderia endosymbiont frequencies.
