A test of integration of plant traits that each are potential targets of insect-mediated selection; results suggest that independent evolutionary forces are likely to diversify different axes of plant chemistry without major constraints. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Today's reading goals:

Studying/working outdoors should be encouraged.

@soctropecol @MaximumInsect @OrozcoterWengel hi! could i please have a link for the talks? i'm trying to dm but it's not getting through 🙃

Last but not least!! 🤩 📢Our last #TEO seminar before #Gtoe2023 🇨🇿 is happening NEXT Monday: @MaximumInsect & Johan Pansu will talk about the use of #metabarcoding for biodiverstity conservation & network analysis. PM us for the link! Monday (13.3.) at 3pm CET. @OrozcoterWengel

Our Undergraduate Bursary Scheme applications are NOW OPEN! This Scheme is designed to give undergrads hands-on experience working in a museum of natural history! PLEASE SHARE

Really pleased to be representing @HarperAdamsUni at @SISF_2023 today! Come talk to us about our insects and courses if you’re here! Plus you can build an insect out of modelling clay to earn your Children’s University badge🐞

📢The EU-LIFE/@Nature Essay Contest #UTOPIA INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH is open! Write an essay, a love story, a thriller, or a piece of any genre with your ideal #research institute as main character or backdrop & share your vision with us! ➡️bit.ly/3DvwPyA #10yearsEULIFE

@HarperAdamsSU @HarperAdamsUni please join facebook group if interested or dm me facebook.com/groups/6531285…

✨Call for astronomy enthusiasts!✨ • Are you a Harper Adams University student? • Do you have an interest in astronomy? We are kick-starting the 1st Astronomical Society in February 2023! Follow links in comments for more info! please share @HarperAdamsSU @HarperAdamsUni

Presented some of our fig genomics data in the #BES2022 conference tonight, bringing representation of @HarperAdamsUni and @MIBTP1 , with @simonsegar (@danielsoutov your legend continues)

And here @simonsegar introducing phytochemistry across elevation in PNG at the Xth International Fig Symposium! Zoom does not compare to tropical China, but at least fig lovers had a chance to present their work on the fig- fig wasp system! #figs #figwasp

Next up we have @SBoutsi talking to us online from INRAE in France about her PhD on speciation genomics in a #figwasp #pollination mutualism

Many insects are important pollinators; one of these is the fabulous fig wasp. In this video, fig wasp researcher Sotiria Boutsi explains the amazing life cycle of the fig wasp, and why without it we wouldn’t have any figs! crunchyontheoutside.com/2022/05/16/fab…

Recruting now, a PhD focussing on coffee chemistry and pests! Building on MSc work funded by HAU in collaboration with Museums Kenya and the University of Embu: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… For farmers, biodiversity and a damn fine cup of coffee.

A few more - including FIGS! @simonsegar !

Nice to be back in the Mediterranean - with the accompanying wildlife! #Mediterranean #insects #lizard
