We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@SaskiaHogenhout, @JohnInnesCentre) on the molecular mechanisms of plant-aphid interactions. We show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anesthetic, suppressing plant perception of aphid attack.

@HarmitMalik If they like evolutinary ecology/genetics of red queen dynamics (I guess they might, coming from your lab!), the Ebert lab has 3 open PhD positions btwn now and Jan 2025. Masters required. Working language English. Basel is very international & provides free German classes

It was great having you, @CharissaB! Thanks for presenting your awesome research at our seminar series. Your talk inspired some lively conversations in our lab and got us thinking about the many parallels between our systems

@FerVillanea @ravenscimaven Haldane also says some pretty appalling stuff in his book "The Inequality of Man"

Darwin's word is generally heralded as the authoritative opinion on matters of evolution. One of the things he said that we've been nodding along with for centuries is that males are larger than females in most mammals. (1/13)

@scottpegan @jackcschultz @gallformers I'm still new to this gall world, but I keep thinking all their crazy morphologies might attract friends and not just repel enemies...may this be another way to do that? Or another function? Or "accidental"? I love that there's still so much to learn about these interactions! 😍

The old growth has almost entirely vanished, replaced by the skeletal monocultures of commercial plantations; today, less than 5% of Finland’s forest cover is more than 120 years old
