New short communication! 📄

Kanwar et al. revealed contrasting social structures in Dorymyrmex ants: D. smithi shows supercolonial traits, while D. bureni exhibits nest-specific aggression. ⚔

Today I get to present my favorite slide in Bioinformatics. It’s also the closest I get to using a meme that my students understand. #BLAST @alwayssunny @ncbi

It’s time to finally share the great news.. I just started as an asst prof of #marinescience at @savannahstate! 🤩 I am SO excited to start teaching next week, get my lab up and running, and engage with more students through research, mentoring, and in the classroom! #newPI

@aqua_belle @savannahstate Congrats Laura!! Well deserved, and @savannahstate is getting a great addition!

I am about to get on a plane for the first time since Jan 2020 to attend the Entomological Society of America Conference in Vancouver @EntsocAmerica. I am nervous to travel but excited to see colleagues and

Grad student/PD me: I really don't get what my PI could possibly be doing all day since they don't do much science

PI me, a few months in: oh, huh...

@esargent184 Almost certainly disturbed by something, if they aren't actively building the mound those impressions can last for a few days. Kind of looks like a footprint from something stepping in it, but I'm not sure. Maybe a raccoon?

@lovetheants For what it's worth, for behavioral studies I try to collect fragments from a decent distance apart (km scale) so that I can feel confident that those ants/nests from each site haven't interacted with one another in a meaningful way. I look at distance as a variable just in case.

[Josh Gibson @InsectEvolution]

@lovetheants I'm definitely going to be checking back here for ideas, RE Argentine ants. It seems that most consider fragments from one colony to be independent samples, but the questions are often looking at how (the very few available) colonies differ.

My 2nd publication is out!!!! & it’s in Ornithological Applications (journal of American Ornithological Society @AmOrnith)!

The marsh was one of the best things to ever happen to me. Thank you to the world’s best advisor and coauthor, Elizabeth Hunter!
