🏜️ Hot & dry? Plants feel it too. We report in @annbot how plants from Iberian coastal dunes shrink in height & spread as aridity rises — from single species to whole communities. This pattern occurs independently of key soil variables 👉#OA

Happy to share the discovery of a new insect-plant interaction from Borneo, where one ant-plant has evolved sharp hooked trichomes to pierce and kill lycaenid caterpillars. However, one specialist can survive and has a counter-defence! https://t.co/8OQJuxUOUt

The coevolution of insects and chemical plant defences has been described as an arms race, but it is unclear whether physical plant defences can produce similar outcomes. Here, we report a previously...
