From Day 1 of my Experimental Ecology class, Chan's been focused on🌱(and avoiding 🕷️). But in this new student blog post, he discovers that to really understand plants, you need to learn about other organisms too -- like 🍄 & even (gasp)🐞! hmcbee.blogspot.com/2024/04/yerba-… Harvey Mudd College

Students in my course are blogging about their experiences keeping a notebook. This week, Sarah writes about lizards: taking a closer look gave her a new appreciation for their individuality & cuteness 🦎😍 hmcbee.blogspot.com/2024/02/avid-l… Harvey Mudd College

Invasive ants evade poisoned baits!

Somehow, Argentine ants sense that a bait is poisoned, and reduce traffic to it by 80% within a few hours. This probably helps invasive ants evade or resist control efforts.
