Excited to share our opinion paper "𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀" out in #Trends_in_Plant_Science. Free access for a limited time: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ksUL…
Our new review in Journal of IPM: Biology, ecology, and management of the annual bluegrass weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in turfgrass academic.oup.com/jipm/articl…
Our new paper in "Crop Protection" shows #silicon_fertilization suppresses #cutworms and enhances control by #entomopathogenic_nematodes, but reduces nematode reproduction in cadavers. Open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cropro.202…
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 👇

We're recruiting a new senior technical officer for our exciting new ARC Linkage Grant #siliceousplants. Please circulate if you can.
Excited to share our latest paper led by @rputrabio out in Agriculture, Ecosystem and Environment. We report the agroecological consequences of #silicon fertilization, with a focus on its impacts on aboveground #insect_biodiversity. Check it out sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Had a great conference! It was wonderful talking about #plant_silicon defenses against #herbivorous_insects at the ESA annual meeting #EntSoc23 @EntsocAmerica

Thrilled to see our new Functional Ecology @FunEcology out verifying some of our lab findings in the field. Elevated atmospheric CO2 suppresses silicon accumulation and exacerbates endophyte reductions in plant phosphorus dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435… #siliceousplants
Excited to share that I've started my postdoc in entomology at #Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. My research at Rutgers will focus on IPM of the annual bluegrass weevil, particularly by using #silicon fertilisation and entomopathogenic nematodes. @RU_Entomology
Today I presented at #ISCE_APACE on how plant silicon defences may play a role in biocontrol of herbivorous arthropods.

Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @Ecol_Ent . We show that plant-mediated interactions between herbivorous insects can be impacted by plant silicon defences. @ScottJohnsonLab @blinkybenjy
