Come work with me!!!🌲🌳🎉 Be part of a vibrant, supportive community in beautiful Madison, WI. So much amazing science happening here, we would love to have you join us 🤩

New article out in @FrontPlantSci in which @amy_trowbridge, @maryajamieson , and I examine the effects of herbivores and mycorrhizae on strawberry plant functional traits important in pollinator attraction. Check it out! https://t.co/rLeC3WWHT8

@HLockeSTEM Congrats!

It's not too late to apply 🌵🦎🐸🦒🐀🍄🦌🐐🦜🦈🕷️🐞🦠🌳🌿

Dark Phase #Svastra obliqua. Having this species means that you have big mid summer composites nearby. Good for you. One of my favorite shots.

Just wanted to thank for @DrEMLichtenberg for sponsoring my trip to #ESA2022 last week. I saw a lot of great talks and was able to speak on my masters research with @maryajamieson, @amy_trowbridge, @dr_tialynn, and @NaWei_Dr. It was a truly great experience.

Spent a week @RMBLGothic learning GC/MS methods for collecting floral volatiles. Possibly the coolest place ever?

[Rob Whyle @rob_whyle_v]

Anyone else going to #ESA2022 ? I'll be giving a talk Thursday at 9:15 am. https://t.co/h0QPT8HQIf

[Shannon Collins @dstrbd_ecology]

Any ecology Twitter folks going to ESA this year? I’d love to meet up and learn about you and your research! #ESA2022

I’m also giving a poster talk at 5:00-6:30 PM on Monday about grazing disturbance impacts on ground-nesting bees. Feel free to stop by 🐮🐝

@UNTResearch Grad student @rob_whyle_v is also using the Pollinative Prairie to study bee foraging behavior! He is documenting a diverse range of insects visiting the flowers there. (Here, Rob is using an online taxonomic key to identify a wasp.)

[Elinor Lichtenberg @DrEMLichtenberg]

Grad student @rob_whyle_v fieldwork is at UNT's Pollinative Prairie. Rob is interested in how diverse insects interact at #flowers by leaving and using chemical "footprints". Here's Rob in the lab, identifying a #wasp that he saw earlier in the day. https://t.co/K6dvnQBPir 5/7

@ChadNihranz @SwayamjitRay @clarecasteel I’ll get to hear @SwayamjitRay present at the University of North Texas on the 8th, looking forward to it!

We are happy to announce MACE, a curated open access data repository of mass spectra for GC/MS. It is designed as an easy to handle add-on for databases used in Chemical Ecology. #chemecol

@ChadNihranz @NaWei_Dr @maryajamieson @dr_tialynn Thanks Chad!

[Rob Whyle @rob_whyle_v]

Just published my first research article with @NaWei_Dr, @maryajamieson, @dr_tialynn. Genotypic variation in floral volatiles, herbivory, and mycorrhizae can influence the floral microbiome. Link below for details!

Much thanks to @Hortres for publishing our research!

[Rob Whyle @rob_whyle_v]

@maryajamieson A good companion study to my masters research

I am happy to share my first publication about strawberry productivity in urban agriculture and invite you to read my accompanying blog article featuring photos from the talented @joseph_ferraro. #agroecology #urbanecology
