Congratulations!.
New paper in @JEvBio! 🌿🦗.Just a few genetic loci shape the green-brown polymorphism in meadow grasshoppers! Simple Mendelian inheritance, yet long-term balancing selection keeps variation alive. 🔗 #Evolution #Genetics #Orthoptera.@PopEcolJena @MPI_CE.

Alcohol makes male fruit flies sexier! New study from @billhansson, @Keesey_IW et al. in @ScienceAdvances shows that alcohol boosts sex pheromone production in male D. melanogaster, making them more attractive to females. But too much is a turnoff!.

A recent collaborative study including contributions from our institute explores how Arabidopsis and Vicia faba plants convert flg22 perception into electrical signals, triggering defense responses. #PlantScience #PlantDefense #Arabidopsis #ViciaFaba.
