Kelly, C. and M.D. Bowers. 2016. Preference and performance of generalist and specialist herbivores on chemically defended host plants. Ecological Entomology.  Toby received a Dissertation Improvement Grant from the National Science Foundation. This project will investigate whether gut microbes affect caterpillar herbivory and fitness. He will be working with the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (Sphingidae) and its host plant, Datura wrightii (Solanaceae).
Toby's paper, "An endophyte-rich diet increases ant predation on a specialist herbivorous insect", just came out in Ecological Entomology! You can find it at: Ecological Entomology 2015, DOI: 10.1111/een.12186. Congratulations Toby!
Today Ken signed on the dotted line to accept a joint, assistant professor position at the University of Wisconsin. He will be jointly appointed between the Departments of Botany and Geography!! The question is: are they ready? Yay Ken!
