📄🚨 We need to be thinking about multi-modal signaling in #plant-insect interactions! Maybe primary metabolites - the opposite of 'private channels' - provide an out for insect partners in coevolved ecological specialization mutualisms. New out in @sicbjournals.bsky.social @sicb.bsky.social Link👇

Our review of chemical ecology of cycad symbiosis is out today in @newphyt.bsky.social! Great working with @jcarlosvillarreal.bsky.social @lycaeidesmelissa.bsky.social @evodivmet.bsky.social and others not yet on Bluesky.

Great field season in progress at Montgomery Botanical Center! Grad student Jade Stryker collecting her first cycad cone scent for a project on the evolution of cone signals ❤️🌿

Grad student Piper Cole presented her work on Magnolia signaling at the Brazilian National Botanical Congress last week. We are starting a comparative project with Brazilian M. ovata and Georgian magnolias.

You’ve GOT to check out Arthur Domingos de Melo’s work on bat pollinated systems in the Brazilian Caatinga dry forest. This dude blew my mind. 💯
