Our new paper is out in #Physiological_Entomology with @EELaboratory and @ScottJohnsonLab. We asked: Can #plant_silicon_defence interfere with carotenoid sequestration and green cryptic colouration in insect larvae? Check out the answer 👇

Congratulations @ScottJohnsonLab & Yolima Carrillo @westsyduhie - successfully awarded ARC Discovery Project w/ collaborators from @sheffielduni, 'Synergising plant symbionts & silicon to mitigate heat stress in legumes'. Offering future #soilhealth #cropproductivity.
@westsydu
Exciting news! Ten projects led by Western Sydney University researchers have been collectively awarded more than $8 million through the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) 2025 Discovery Projects scheme.
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research, Enterprise and Global) Professor Deborah Sweeney congratulated all involved in this funding success.
“This impressive funding success reflects Western’s continued focus on sustained research excellence, innovation, and outcomes that translate into impactful economic, social and environmental change for the communities we serve around the globe,” said Professor Sweeney.

Our meta-analysis on the effects of silicon-based plant defences on different herbivore functional groups is out now in @Ecology_Letters! This was a great team effort with @ScottJohnsonLab @itchyshin @profSueHartley @CookeJulia @jmwryalls & Losia Lagisz.

What strategies do plants use to get what they need from soil?
Invest in themselves? partner with fungi?
PhD scholarship @westsyduhie with me, @jsoilecol & @ianjwright1 exploring ecology of plant strategies (including mycorrhizas) 🌱to acquire soil resources.

Our new paper is now online in @Ecology_Letters !
We show that nutrient availability strongly controls insect herbivore biomass when predators are few, but that there is a switch from bottom up to top-down control when predators are common.
