Great news from the 39th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Chemical Ecology in Prague! Our Managing Director Jonathan Gershenzon was awarded the ISCE Silver Medal for his groundbreaking research on plant chemical defenses and how insects circumvent them. Congratulations, Jonathan! https://lnkd.in/eT9qMPjq #isce2024 #chemicalecology

We investigate how organisms communicate with each other via chemical signals.
Info
The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology investigates how organisms communicate with each other via chemical signals. We analyze ecological interactions with molecular, chemical and neurobiological techniques. Chemical Ecology examines the role of chemical signals that mediate the interactions between plants, animals, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and behavioral consequences of these interactions. In the Institute, organic chemists, biochemists, ecologists, entomologists, behavioral scientists, insect geneticists and physiologists work in collaboration to unravel the complexity of chemical communication that occurs in nature.

The endosymbiont Symbiodolus clandestinus, living inside insect cells, has remained undiscovered until now. Jürgen Wierz and his colleagues from our Department of Insect Symbiosis report its discovery in at least six insect orders in a new study in The ISME Journal. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, they showed that Symbiodolus is present in all life stages and tissues of infected insects. The symbiont is abundant in reproductive organs of adult females, eggs, and larvae, suggesting transovarial transmission. The interactions with host insects are not yet understood, but Symbiodolus likely impacts insect communities and ecosystems considerably. https://lnkd.in/e4VYk7gC

Today, our former doctoral researcher Andrea Müller will receive the Beutenberg Campus Award for her dissertation on the physiological and phytochemical aspects of ant-plant mutualism. The award ceremony will take place in the festive setting of the "Noble Gespräche" on Beutenberg Campus, where Martin Lohse, one of Germany's leading pharmacologists and toxicologists, will talk about "Drugs for tomorrow". The event starts at 5 pm. https://lnkd.in/g8_26tGT

We are very happy about two new and successful PhD graduates from the Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology: Nandita Nataraj defended here PhD thesis on "Oviposition learning and memory in gravid Manduca sexta and Drosophila melanogaster" on May 23. Kalpana Jain (with her supervisor Dieter Wicher) celebrated her PhD defense yesterday, on May 27. Her PhD project was the "Characterization of Drosophila olfactory sensory neuron performance". Congratulations, Nandita and Kalpana, and all the best for your future careers! 🎓 🎓 🎉 🎉
