Our group’s first study on fire salamanders is out! 🟡⚫️🦎⚫️🟡 🧪🌍We report differences in predation rates between managed and non-managed forest areas, due mostly to increased 🐦 attacks in managed areas. Both types of areas differ mainly in 🌳 diversity and evenness (1/2) doi.org/10.1111/jzo....

Great to spend a packed day with Prof. Dan Fagan (NYU), a Pulitzer prize-winning environmental journalist. He gave a special lecture at Cornell Univ. including readings from his forthcoming book on monarch butterflies. It can be viewed here:

Distribution of key glucosinolates with known causal enzymes across the Brassicaceae. Shows rampant presence absence variation that doesn't track phylogeny closely. Suggests lots of independent events.

28.03.2025 17:52 — 👍 43 🔁 21 💬 4 📌 1Happy to share my first major PhD work, where we show that Heliconiini caterpillars have developed more puncture resistant cuticle as a counter-adaptation against sharp Passiflora trichomes. However, we also show that the trichomes affect post ingestion, suggesting that the arms-race continues!
