New paper out in Functional Ecology!

New paper alert from the Dearing Lab in Functional Ecology, "Toxin tolerance across landscapes: Ecological exposure not a prerequisite". In this study, we assayed tolerance for the toxic plant, creosote bush, in two woodrat species across the US Southwest." Check out the Lay Summary. on the Functional Ecology website. This was a big effort from many lab members over the years, and we’re excited to finally share it!

Graphical abstract for “Toxin Tolerance across landscapes: Ecological exposure not a prerequisite”. In this study, we surveyed the tolerance of two herbivorous woodrat species to the toxic chemicals produced by creosote bush, a common shrub across the US southwest (credit: D. M. Klure).
