Sometimes a "failed" research project leads to success! Chemical ecologist-walnut twig beetle expert Steve Seybold (1959-2019), inadvertently discovered a repellent. Mentee Jackson Audley, who received his doctorate in entomology from #ucdavis and is now a postdoc, continues the research. Check out the latest publication, Trapping Failure Leads to Discovery of Potent Semiochemical Repellent for the Walnut Twig Beetle" in Journal of Economic Entomology. Well done! #BugSquad https://bit.ly/373Sm1k

Newly published UC Davis research in #PNAS analyzing modern-day and museum collections of monarch butterflies over a 200-year period indicates that loss of migration and range expansion leads to smaller and shorter wings. Lead author Micah Freedman, with co-authors Hugh Dingle, Santiago Ramirez and Sharon Strauss. Title: Two Centuries of Monarch Butterfly Collections Reveal Contrasting Effects of Range Expansion and Migration Loss on Wing Traits." News embargo lifted at noon today; article will appear in PNAS sometime this week. Story also emphasizes the importance of museums, like the Bohart Museum of Entomology, #ucdavis. https://bit.ly/3mDHBI6
