New paper from our lab (@ChemEcol_org)!
We identify a glucosinolate that links oviposition behaviour with innate immunity in a specialist herbivore.
Great work @AswathiMenoki! Supported by @DBTIndia & @ANRFIndia.

Dr. Radhika Venkatesan of Department of Biological Sciences has been awarded with the Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers. Congratulations, Dr. Radhika Venkatesan.
Giving awards (onsite and online) to the next generation of chemical ecologists. Congratulations to all again! #ISCE_APACE#chemicalecology Thank you again to all sponsors who allow the societies to support stars in the field!
Our newest publication faced all the hurdles of the pandemic, yet came out like a 'flying moth'.

What drives the oviposition choice of a specialist moth? Volatiles, immunity, and enemy-reduced space.

Excited to share new work from our lab! We report larval parasitoid as potential biocontrol for the dreaded fall armyworm! Thank you @NCBS_Bangalore @MPI_CE @serbonline for the support.

A popular science article about our work on myrmecochory- seed dispersal by ants! We report the chemical cues in castor seeds attractive to particular ants and show that such secondary dispersal is advantageous for germination. Thank you Anuja! https://t.co/rpf9msP3CE
The special session of the Kerala legislative assembly has passed a resolution against Centre's new farm laws. Our national capital is witnessing an unprecedented struggle. Farmers have braved extreme cold & other hardships to join the struggle. In 35 days, 32 lives lost.
Great news! My latest paper with @VandyBugs is out in @ScienceAdvances! We examined 68 insect species from 16 orders and found that the integration of the immune and circulatory systems is conserved throughout insect evolution! https://t.co/8V2b0Y5dUr
Our work is finally out in PNAS. We describe a cell surface receptor that detects peptides in caterpillar spit! A plant pattern recognition receptor can detect chewing herbivory. Huge project started at UC San Diego and finished at UW. https://t.co/c7cIbnfnIu
