Raghav is a high school student who has been working in the lab on spotted lanternflies for the past two years.

Fruit fly chemical ecology’s been a part of ISCE & APACE symposia! Happy to chair the session again with Dr Umar Lubanga 🇦🇺We have had 8 good talks & thanks to all the presenters for their effort! You can see them in the following pictures! International Society of Chemical Ecology #fruitfly @chemecol2025🧵

Are you a theoretical biologist intererested in the ecology and evolution of metabolic interactions among microorganisms? Do you like to work with experimentalists? Do you have a PhD and experience in modelling + statistics? Then this might be for you: shorturl.at/iiiOv

I knew nothing about the bumblebee fauna of Iceland before I visited the country earlier this year (July 2025), but it turns out to be a story for our times, involving invasive species, introduced plants, climate change, and of course, Vikings! rcannon992.com/2025/09/08/hum…

Our first big preprint, led by the great Dr. Qi Xue Qi Xue 薛祺 . We discovered three mechanisms for olfactory adaptation in the fruit pest Drosophila suzukii, two of which are novel .Well Done Qi; you will be a great professor biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

To all chemical ecologists! The new APACE Newsletter has been issued! - mailchi.mp/c2debb87729d/t… I am truly honored to have served APACE to the best of my ability in the last 25 years. I wish APACE greater success in the coming years! #chemicalecology #chemecol2025
