On November 6, 2025, the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences held an Open Day, in which our Laboratory of Evolutionary Ecology also took part. We prepared a program focused on the topic: How plants defend themselves against herbivores.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with a background in bioinformatics to join our research team investigating the global drivers of phytochemical diversity. This project aims to uncover how the remarkable diversity of plant metabolites relates to biotic and abiotic stress across the globe. As a model system, we focus on the Salicaceae family, which provides an exceptional opportunity to study phytochemical evolution thanks to its broad geographic distribution, ecological diversity, and well-characterized phylogeny.
We are delighted to congratulate Jing Vir Leong on the successful defence of their doctoral thesis titled “Herbivore-plant interactions, evolution of defenses and chemical diversity in Salicaceae.”
