Paper out New Phytologist❕ 🌱🐛 Plant herbivore protection by arbuscular mycorrhizas: A role for fungal diversity? 🌱🐛 with Pedro M. Antunes Prof Dunc Cameron 🏳️‍🌈♿️ 🐝 Sue Hartley Professor Scott Johnson Matthias C. Rillig @bennett_lab #mycorrhiza #biodiversity #fungi #soil #insect nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

New paper out in Journal of Ecology led by Professor Scott Johnson with Ximena Cibils, PhD, Casey Hall et al. We found silicon-based plant defenses are highest under nutrient-limited conditions, in line with the resource availability hypothesis! #siliceousplants #herbivory besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students for Fall 2022! Come study mycorrhizal ecology with my group and join a great graduate program EEES Dartmouth. Fully funded. Please RT and share with any interested students! More info and instructions on how to apply here: balachaudhary.com/phd-2022.html

New Publication Alert! Thrilled to share our latest paper out in Ecological Entomology . We show that plant-mediated interactions between herbivorous insects can be impacted by plant silicon defences.
