Ramping up for field work season with new toys to play! We have lots of VOC samples to collect from willows and poplars in CZ, Minnesota, and Alaska this summer. We are working with our local IT specialist to create sensors (in-house) to collect environmental data along with VOCs. How exciting!

So happy to share our work investigating the diversification, their biogeography, and taxonomy of grass-yellow butterflies which was just published in Journal of Biogeography! What once started as a master's thesis during my BS/MS days in City College of NY is now finally seeing the light with 1/2

Once, in Gorongosa NP, I thought that I had found Halucinogenia, a near-mythical Cambrian animal with spikes on its back. The creature turned out to be a caterpillar of Acridotarsa melipecta who lives as an inquiline in the colonies of the termite Schedorhinotermes lamanianus. Still cool, though.

Effects of pronounced seasonal turnover and intraspecific variation in leaf traits on specialization of insect herbivores associated with six Salicaceae hosts - Oecologia
Temperate plants show a rapid seasonal turnover in various leaf traits and defenses. Such trends in plant defenses can potentially drive seasonal shifts in the specialization of insect herbivores. We ...

Despite having lived/worked outside the US for more than a decade, I am still very moved by the massive destruction of the US's research sector.
This+NIH cuts will induce a huge brain-drain out of the US. So many jobs will be lost. Innovation potential will be lost.
