5M year old whale graveyard that’s still being used?! Bonkers.
UVic is hiring a Terrestrial Plant Ecologist Assistant Professor! Come join our department! We're nice and Victoria is awesome. www.uvic.ca/science/biol...
We also discovered several toxin classes not previously reported in insect defensive symbionts, including:

• leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins
This expands the known molecular toolkit underlying insect defense.
Huge credit to Balig and everyone involved in the project.
