Here, we continue our focus on Research Chapter news, with a report from Gerry Ho, PhD candicate from La Trobe University and member of ESA's Invasive Species Research Chapter, on environmental drivers of expansion of alien irises and their genetic diversity in Australia, and news from John Martin (Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens) on population and foraging dynamics of cockatoos in urban landscapes.

'Labs in the Limelight' showcases research by Heloise Gibb and her students from La Trobe University into insect ecology and climate change.
