Given the recent devastation to US #entomology, this thread is a resource list for aspiring entomologists or those who’ve lost jobs. I invite others to add links they think might help. I won’t pretend this is easy, but there’s no better time to start. Open below to read: 🧪 #AcademicSky #science

This is an earleaf acacia tree (graduate student for scale). It is an invasive from Australia. Nearly every limb was ripped off of this formerly 15 ft tree by a tornado spawned by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, 2024. The fast growth rate of these trees are one reason they are problematic. #plantnative

Hot off the press! New article out of the #MinteerLab on predicting suitable habitats for one of the biological control agents for the invasive Brazilian peppertree from recent Masters grad Emily Le Falchier! #UFBiocontrol #UFBugs url6649.tandfonline.com/ls/click?upn...
Predicting suitable habitats for the Brazilian peppertree biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in Florida
Invasive plants are rapidly entering new ecosystems due to globalisation, increased trade, and frequent disturbances of natural habitats. Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi, known as the Brazilian peppe...

New paper out of the #Minteerlab from our postdoc, Dr. Telmadarrehei! These data show that the Brazilian peppertree thrips should survive in areas with brackish water. This is good news for control of Brazilian peppertree in mangroves! #UFBugs #UFBiocontrol www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
