In the Sonoran Desert of the Southwest USA, M. sexta moths utilize A. palmeri as an important nectar resource when flowers of their preferred hostplant, D. wrightii, are not abundant. Moths learn to feed from A. palmeri flowers through olfactory conditioning. A postdoctoral project in the Hildebrand lab (by J. A. Riffell) is examining the neural basis of this behavior.

The city of Tucson is located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
Saguaro Cacti are the signature plants of this biologically rich area straddling the U.S. Mexican border.
