Mech, AM, KA Thomas, TD Marsico, DA Herms, CR Allen, MP Ayres, KJK Gandhi, J Gurevitch, NP Havill, RA Hufbauer, AM Liebhold, KF Raffa, AN Schulz, DR Uden, PC Tobin. Evolutionary history predicts high-impact invasions by herbivorous insects. Ecology and Evolution. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5709 This is one of those papers that took _for.ever_ to get accepted. We think it's super cool and aimed really high. Again and again. Ecology and Evolution is a good place for it in the end, though, and I'm so happy it's finally going to see the light of day! We still think it's really cool, so will be doing some press releases. What's so slick about it? Well, there is a "sweet spot" (or a deadly spot, rather) when insects evolutionary history with their host plants is close enough that they can feed on them, but not so close that they host plant has defenses. Thus, evolutionary relationships can be used to predict whether or not an insect that invades a new region is likely to be highly damaging or not.

Evolutionary history predicts high-impact invasions by herbivorous insects. Ecology and Evolution. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5709 This is one of those papers that took _for.ever_ to get accepted. We think it's super cool and aimed really high. Again and again. Ecology and Evolution is a good place for it in the end, though, and I'm so happy it's finally going to see the light of day! We still think it's really cool, so will be doing some press releases. What's so slick about it? Well, there is a "sweet spot" (or a deadly spot, rather) when insects evolutionary history with their host plants is close enough that they can feed on them, but not so close that they host plant has defenses. Thus, evolutionary relationships can be used to predict whether or not an insect that invades a new region is likely to be highly damaging or not.
