DNA from rainwater provides a window into tropical canopy biodiversity
Tropical rainforests still represent a treasure trove of undiscovered species. While many species of plants, animals, and insects have been identified over the years, some parts of these tropical ecos...

Females and predatory bats appear to integrate water ripples produced by calls, but do they care about swat ripples?
That is, could attacks by the frog-biting midge create effects that cascade throughout the communication network, and shift relative male fitness?

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Electroreception in treehoppers: How extreme morphologies can increase electrical sensitivity | PNAS
The link between form and function of an organism’s morphology is usually apparent
or intuitive. However, some clades of organisms show remarkable ...

Had a great time at #ABS2025! Met with old and new friends. Learned a lot about the importance of collaborations at all levels of our career path and how important is to show up and share our own experiences.
I will be sharing more of my work in animal communication in tropical forests 🌳🐸
