February 2017: Congrats to Tim Morris for being awarded an Undergraduate Summer Scholar Fellowship!4/7/2018 Suzy will be working on gall-former parasitoid interactions webs in the native and introduced range of an invasive gall-former. We are excited to collect a lot of galls from the PNW, and see what parasitoids come out!
Link to our "Featured Creature" on the University of Florida's Dept. of Entomology website for information on the ecology & life history of this charismatic, yet damaging insect.
Starting August 2016, the Prior lab will be up and running at Binghamton University!  Kirsten presents her review on ecological responses to invasive species management.  Check out our new paper in Oecologia on the impact of an invasive slug on seed dispersal mutualisms. In eastern North American forests, the invasive slug, Arion subfuscus, disrupts seed dispersal of understory forbs by ants. Slugs steal the food reward (eliaosome) that seeds provide ants in return for dispersal. This research was lead by Shannon Meadley-Dunphy, a graduate student, in the Frederickson lab. Camera shots below show slugs, ants, and rodents visiting wild ginger seeds.  |
