This chapter on the apple microbiome was so fun to write with Michael Wisniewski, Samir Droby, Shiri Freilich, Mark Mazzola and Ahmed Abdelfattah

Wanna know how insects and fungi can change plant trait expression? My advisor @maryajamieson presented my master’s research at #ESA2021, check it out!

Thanks everyone for your delightful response to this piece. For those who have kindly pointed out the omission of plants and microbes, I did crop the infographic to make it more appealing and visible for Twitter. The full-view, including non-animal life, can be seen here ⬇️

I’ve got an Apache paper wasp (Polistes apachus) exhibit in my kitchen window

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

Everyone is hard at work in the Lichtenberg Lab! Featuring Laura Taylor, Rob Whyle, Marie and Alyssa

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 The MACE website: oc.tu-bs.de/schulz/html/MA… The data repository: doi.org/10.24355/dbbs.…

Flowers prepare thyselves: leaf and root herbivores induce specific changes in floral phytochemistry with consequences for plant interactions with florivores Quint Rusman @DickeMarcel nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

UNT Research and Innovation Grad student Rob Whyle 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.)

Grad student Rob Whyle 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. x.com/DrEMLichtenber… 5/7

Anyone else going to #ESA2022 ? I'll be giving a talk Thursday at 9:15 am. eventscribe.net/2022/ESA/fsPop…

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

Just wanted to thank for Elinor Lichtenberg 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 Na Wei. It was a truly great experience.

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

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

New article out in Frontiers - Plant Science 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! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

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 🤩
