I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals so if you're interested in evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, or genetics, this could be a good fit for you! More info here: tinyurl.com/mrxchwfm

Come here me talk at #Evol2025 about butterfly chemical evolution today (Saturday) at 3pm in room Athens AB (Parallel Evolution I).

Stay for Zarley Rebholz on chemical convergence between plants and ladybirds!

Convergent floral scent loss following transition to hummingbird pollination in spiral gingers (Costus).
I had so much fun on this project with @kathleenmkay.bsky.social and Santiago Ramirez and am thrilled to see it published now in @MolBioEvol! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Great to see this fun project published! We found that the larger valley carpenter bee males with darker glands produce higher amounts of pheromone, which acts as a long-range attractant.
