We had two more talks of the @ToxicPlantLab that we hope you got to see - Julie David presented her work on "Soil legacy effects on crop disease resistance, pollinator diet quality and pollinator behavior" (Grad P-IE: Behavior, Biocontrol, and IPM)

And Laura Martinez (@EntoMontinez) talked about "Synthetic pheromone from a generalist predator (Podisus maculiventris) elicits non-consumptive effects on prey and impacts yield of solanaceous crops in upstate New York" (Grad P-IE: Biocontrol 1)

How do parental effects in a beetle shape the evolution of prey responses to predators? Find out in our new hot off the press @AmNat article! doi.org/10.1086/712341.
Fun collaboration @ToxicPlantLab & @anuragasclepias

Cornell's Insect Ecology class had fun measuring predator-pollinator interactions @DilmunHill with @buprestibae and @kimotecontrol

Using a synthetic predator pheromone protects plants from crop pests more consistently than using live predator pheromones!

Happy to see the online version out from sabbatical experiments at @niooknaw. Transferring rhizosphere microbes across plant species increases resistance to leaf-feeding insects.

One of the best parts of the predator-prey #GRC is meeting new people and of course seeing old friends! I especially loved getting to spend so much time catching up with @ToxicPlantLab this week! And I got to debut some fun monarch work using the #betterposter design ;)

Congratulations to Rachel Norris for successfully defending her master's thesis on aphid responses to predator footprints! A great combination of behavior and chemical ecology research. Stay tuned for a publication on this work later this year! @UCRentomology

In other news, #Passiflora strangle #Heliconius. The caterpillar was moulting when the plant attacked.

Congratulations to the fantastic Thundergrad Christina Zhao @chaoticzhao for just getting a $1000 grant! She will use it to analyze alkaloid concentrations in mycorrhizae associated and not associated solanaceous plants.
