Nice new collaborative paper out this week led by Rob Heckman, using a data set we collected way back when I was a postdoc: "Correlational selection and genetic architecture shape the evolution of the leaf economics spectrum in a perennial grass" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Deconstructing host quality offers insight into disease ecology Disease risk varies among ecological communities because species differ in their host quality, that is, their contribution to parasite fitness. We propose a four-component framework of host quality that harmonizes terminology across plant and animal domains. Using this framework, we demonstrate how the host defense strategies of resistance and tolerance relate to distinct components of host quality. Easily extendable to multi-parasite systems, the framework also helps to identify new ways of examining the continuum between specialist and generalist parasites. Ultimately, breaking down and formalizing the components of host quality helps with synthesizing disease ecology across domains and unlocking relationships between biodiversity and disease risk.

One of my students is having trouble submitting her GRFP because the submission site is not recognizing her Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts sub-headings. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? It doesn't seem to be a font face issue.

New paper from our JenaTron facility:

BrΓΆcher et al. show that reciprocal effects between plants and invertebrate herbivores vary with plant species richness, plant history and soil history.

Herbivores want nutritious plants with soil history, while they reduce plant height in monocultures
