Fun collaboration with Diana Percy and Patrick Degnan showing rapid loss (<1M) of nutritional symbionts in Hawaiian psyllids is associated with galling behavior. All psyllids (free-living, open gall, closed gall) radiated on the same host plant species over ~5MY.
Antoine Guiguet@AntoineGuiguet

The galls are so nutritious that psyllids that transitioned to galling have lost their nutritional symbionts ! 🤯academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do…

#LASD SEB SAR personnel assisted Riverside Co. with a mutual-aid request for two injured hikers who fell 700 feet on an icy slope- with critical injuries. Hampered by poor visibility, the teams had to endure the night sheltered in place until they could be hoisted to safety.

NEW PAPER! What explains associations with defensive symbionts? In @Ecology_Letters we show symbiont occurrences align with sharing the same parasitoids, but not plants, highlighting enemies as key selective agents shaping symbioses in nature🦠 doi.org/10.1111/ele.70…

Excited to learn our non-transgenic canker-resistant citrus generated by crispr genome editing exempted by EPA, by APHIS, for use by growers! They are the 1st to receive EPA exemption for gene-edited plants! ThanksNIFA funding!Thanks@usda_nifa ⁦⁦@EPA⁩⁦@USDA_APHIS⁩

Beautiful (both visually and scientifically) research by @thyreodon testing the role of chance in shaping animal-microbe symbioses.
PLOS Biology@PLOSBiology

Study of #SquashBug colonization by #bacterial #symbionts shows that heterogeneity & strain diversity in symbiotic microbial communities, within- & between-host, can be explained by stochastic colonization @thyreodon @NicoleGerardo @nicvega1 #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dceo21

Congrats to @kwak_younghwan our labs newly minted PhD. She will start a postdoc with Gordon Bennett soon continuing on the evolution of insect symbiosis. Good luck!!

New paper alert! Symbionts have allowed insects to colonise novel feeding niches, but how has this influenced diversification? In @NatureEcoEvo we show that symbionts are associated with extreme highs and lows of insect diversification. More below: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Exciting news! Our undergrad Jacob and former grad Dohyup published a paper on comparative transcriptomics of obligate insect-microbe mutualisms. Discover the findings on key aphid homologs crucial for nutritional mutualism and lineage-specific genes at nature.com/articles/s4159….
