🦋 Butterflies and plants have played an evolutionary chess game. Now the black mustard plant has said ‘check’ to the cabbage white by killing its eggs, thereby protecting the plant from the caterpillar’s jaws. Read more Resource nieuws 👇 resource-online.nl/index.php/2021…

In the first edition of our new series #FactsandFigures, we highlight the main expected impacts of #VIRTIGATION in terms of engaging stakeholders, reducing 🌿loss & pesticide usage, as well as informing policy & standards on emerging 🦠#planthealth #plantscience #EUfunded #H2020

Zuid Veluwe. Het waren een paar bloedhete dagen. Dieren zochten het water op om te koelen, te drinken en voor waterpret. En zo te zien zijn de batterijen van de wolvin nog lang niet leeg. 😀

New preprint! Our review provides a guide of current and emerging methodologies to study herbivore resistance mechanisms to plant specialized metabolites 🪲🌿 Check it out! 👇 osf.io/kuszn/ #chemicalecology #herbivore #plant #insect

Dr. Bassetti, congrats – you made it! ninafatouros.nl/phds/dr-basset…
