🎉Thrilled to announce my tenure-track position at University of Neuchatel (Switzerland), inheriting the lab of Prof. Ted Turlings. 2 PhD positions available on #ChemicalEcology and #Sustainable #agriculture 🌽🫛🐝🐛🐞 Job details: informationecology.github.io/openpositions/

Well done Yan @yan_yyhndx and Roberto @RobertoRebolloH! Great presentations on sterol and flower color diversity at #ICE2024Kyoto



Great to catch up with Phil @chickpeaman, my mentor at Kew Gardens at @ice2024kyoto_jp ! Looking forward to more exciting work together!
Proud to see my former post doc @PengjuanZ present so eloquently about her work on information theory in ecology @ice2024kyoto_jp discussing on work in our earlier paper science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
It was a great experience to work with a big group to explore social-ecological systems using causal discovery and literature weaving tools

#25yearspsc We invited our members to share a Moment of Discovery with us. The talented young illustrator Gaia Codoni translated those “moments” into artistic compositions. On Friday, 8th of December 2023, the exhibition will be shown at the University of Zurich. Rämistrasse 71.
Join us in celebrating 25 years of scientific exploration, discovery and innovation on Friday, 8th of December 2023. #plantscience #food #health #environment Registration: plantsciences.uzh.ch/en/outreach/co…
Open Position: Full or Associate Professorship in Molecular Biology of Plants. Interested in understanding fundamental, mechanistic aspects of plant growth, development, or the interaction of plants with their environment? @UZH_Science jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…
June 22 at Botanischer Garten Zurich, Roberto @RobertoRebolloH and Yan @yan_yyhndx in my group will present their work on #plant #pollinator interactions to the public at #NACHTAKTIV @BiocommETH
Unser nächstes #NACHTAKTIV findet am 22. Juni im Botanischen Garten @UZH_en statt. PLANT DATING ist dabei unser Motto. Für alle ab 15 Jahren! creativelabz.ch/nachtaktiv-pla…
In our next (hybrid) seminar, @R_CamaraLeret will present his work on “indigenous knowledge networks”. This novel framework allows to study how knowledge about plant services is structured locally, how it varies regionally, and how it may be eroded in the face of global change.⬇️
Happy to see that the JSE special issue "#Chemical Communication between #Plants and #Insects" is now out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17596831/2…, containing many exciting articles&reviews on different aspects of this topic (including ours on applying #phylogenetic methods *cough), check it out!
We did a thing: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/js… Working on #plant-#insect interactions & floral volatiles? Interested in adding #macroevolution #phylogenetics? Perhaps our review could serve as a good entry-point! With @Breanna_Sipley @mpiresbr2 Yan Yang @RobertoRebolloH & @PengjuanZ
I think this is the most important applied theory paper I have worked on in my career. We offer a way to rapidly assess the persistence of whole ecological networks with much less effort. This could transform our ability to monitor progress towards our #biodiversity targets.
