We are seeking a PhD candidate with a background in bioinformatics to join our research team investigating the global drivers of phytochemical diversity. For more, please see: volflab.com/news/phd-posit…

We are opening a new Postdoctoral position to study effects of phytochemical diversity on insect herbivores! Please see our team webpage for details: volflab.com/news/postdocto…

We are opening a new PhD position to study global trends in phytochemical diversity and plant-insect interactions! volflab.com/news/we-open-n…

Cool opportunity for a PhD studentship in Chemical Ecology with @vanDamIGZ igzev.de/en/career/jobs…

We are looking for a PhD student to join our project that explores if the hybridization in plants is fuelled by the adaptive value of hybrids in face of biotic and abiotic selection pressures along elevational gradients. For more details, please see: jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/127

Why are highland plants chemically distinct? Find out in our new paper in @FunEcology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Quantity and specialisation matter! See our new paper that shows how phytochemical beta-diversity affects insect specialization! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ic…

We are excited to expand our research on evolution of host-plant defences to tropical members of the willow family! We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoc experienced in phylogenomics to join a project on New Guinean Salicaceae! For more details see jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/87

Our paper that has been just published in Journal of Chemical Ecology shows that there is a significant level of localization in induced defences in trees. Such localization allows trees to upregulate defences wherever and whenever they are needed. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We are excited to open a new position in our team! We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoc experienced in phylogenomics to join our projects exploring plant-herbivore interactions and evolution of host-plant defences. For more details see: jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/33

2020 is the International Year of #PlantHealth. iDiv’s Molecular Interaction Ecology (MIE) issues a monthly series highlighting one group member’s contribution to plant health. June: Rebekka Sontowski @UniJena @EU_ENV @bmel idiv.de/en/groups_and_…

A new paper that is just published in Molecular Ecology, demonstrates that host colonisation histories and host- and-parasite community compositions are important drivers of blood parasite. multitrophicinteractions.blog/2020/06/18/new… via @wordpressdotcom

new paper in Science on plant-herbivore coevolution and information use will be widely discussed... let it begin! science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64… kew.org/read-and-watch…

After sampling lowland willow populations, we have moved to the Alps! We aim at showing how alpine conditions affect evolution of plant secondary metabolites. This will expand our recent work on highland figs: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our new essay on localized induction of defences in canopy trees in American Journal of Botany!

I need more interns like this! Producing a paper out of a 14-day internship is a pretty good achievement. Check our newest paper on specificity of plant responses to different herbivores - eje.cz/pdfs/eje/2020/…

Don’t mind all grant applications… We have just won the first price for biology oriented poetry at Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia!

Excited to announce that I have a PhD project available *fully funded for UK applicants* with @CEROxford and @OxfordEnvRes to investigate the functional consequences of changes to farmland insect communities. Please retweet #BES2019 environmental-research.ox.ac.uk/case-studentsh…
