On Monday, May 28, ENTO 424 Insect Ecology Course students hosted a poster session to share the findings from their course research projects. It was open to the public and we had a great turnout of faculty, staff, and students who came to learn about the students’ research.

Very happy to have this Opinion piece published in Current Opinions in Insect Science with my former mentor Dr. Stelinski. In this mini review we examine plant-pathogen, vector, and secondary consumer interactions. 1/3

Excited to share recently published work from my dissertation comparing foliar and root herbivore-induced plant volatiles!! Lots of intriguing patterns emerged, such as stronger volatile induction aboveground than belowground...Check it out!! @HelmsLab doi.org/10.1111/plb.13709

If you ever try to catch this #TAMUBug of the week, you may notice a sickly-sweet green apple scent. The squash bug is a prey insect and uses this scent to deter predators. See the published article below!

Stomata acting as 'plant noses' to smell out enemies? Aguirre et al. tested the hypothesis through a suite of clever experiments. Outcome: stomata need to be open to perceive volatiles and be primed against herbivores.

On ESA Eve, I am thrilled to share my first chapter is out in the Special Issue Women in Chemical Ecology! Root feeding insects make plants distasteful for leaf feeders, but why? Check out what we found!! @HelmsLab @JohnGrunseich @marmolejoento @stbehmer doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.10…
