Aposematism (Ecology 🏞️)

Aposematism is the advertising by an animal, whether terrestrial or marine, to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating. This unprofitability may consist of any defenses which make the prey difficult to kill and eat, such as toxicity, venom, foul taste or smell, sharp spines, or aggressive nature. These adver...

Barley plants fine-tune their root microbial communities through sugary secretions
The custom community of beneficial microbes improve the plants’ growth

Different types of #barley recruit distinct communities of soil #microbes to grow around their roots by releasing a custom mix of sugars and other compounds, according to a new study.

Chemical ecology in agricultural ecosystems

DEADLINE 30.09.23: contact PI Dr. Benjamin Fuchs:
https://www.utu.fi/en/people/benjamin-fuchs

Key concepts: species interactions (plant-microbe, plant-herbivore, plant-pollinator, herbivore-predator); chemical ecology and related methodologies (LC-MS, GC-MS, metabolomics); R-stats; fungal plant symbionts (incl. endophytic fungi, mycorrhizal fungi)

It’s #introduction time! I’m Hannah, I’m leading the Lab of Colourful Animals at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany. We work together to understand the role that toxins play in driving the evolution of new adaptations in predators and prey. We research poison frogs in Costa Rica; snakes that eat toxic toads; milkweed plants, milkweed herbivores, and the predators of these herbivores.

A lot has changed since my #introduction:
Now I'm a #postdoc in Liège (Belgium) trying to figure out how #neuroethology works.
I will be working with two #Peromyscus species.
My focus is the processing of #smell, especially #predator #odours, but most likely also #SocialOdors

I'm still looking for more #AnimalBehaviour, #BehavioralEcology, and #ChemicalEcology folks to follow!
