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.

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

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

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
