Happy Friday, Utopians! Take a gander at our neat paper just published in PCE! 🌱🐛💨
Herbivory on larger leaves = higher plant-level volatile emissions. Generalist herbivores preferentially feed on larger leaves. Interesting implications for environmental signalling!

Leaf Size Determines Damage‐ and Herbivore‐Induced Volatile Emissions in Maize
The size of damaged leaves is the determinant factor shaping volatile emission levels in maize seedlings. Generalist herbivores preferentially feed on leaves that emit the most volatiles, with no app...

Mystery of Spiders' Sense of Smell May Finally Be Solved in New Study
Spiders have always lived alongside humans, so it's surprising how much we still don't know about them.

I'm hiring! 2+2 year postdoc position on forecasting plant defence and resilience to pathogens.
Why are some plants better at defending themselves and can we model it? What role does the environment play? And how can we use all the data we have?
Deadline 13/01.

For my first foray into the utopia that is bluesky, I am happy to share our new preprint that shows within-plant spatiotemporal damage patterns have a major impact on induced volatile emissions, mediated by the size of damaged leaves!🌿🐛 @tristancofer.bsky.social
