Very innovative & detailed work by Postdoc @AntoninCrumiere from my research group #ucph #erc + beautiful use of art to communicate science! Illustrations by the brilliant Damond Kyllo #STRI #panama

This year we celebrate 150 years of the discovery of fungus-farming ants 🐜🍄

Thomas Belt and Fritz Müller's simultaneous discoveries were communicated in @Nature by Wallace and Darwin (resp). Likewise, we remember their work in a Letter to the Editor.

🐜🍄 Excited to share our new research in @MBEjournal! We present a highly contiguous genome of the leafcutter ant fungal cultivar Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, revealing insights into the evolutionary history of domestication in this ant-fungus symbiosis! https://t.co/a2nCLhrNkh

@joaofungo @NHM_Denmark @koebenhavns_uni @NdeVere @PCKjaergaard @UCPH_Research Welcome! Very excited to have you at #UCPH!

🐜Myrer har dyrket svampe som deres afgrøde i mange mio. år. Længe før mennesket fandt ud af at forfine vilde græsser til afgrøder som hvede, byg og majs. Bliv klogere på myrernes underjordiske landbrug 👉https://t.co/z32s0NVuIK #dkforsk @JonathanShik @SocSymEvo @koebenhavns_uni

[Caio Leal-Dutra 🐜🍄🧬 @LealDutraCaio]

🔬 Excited to share our latest paper! We've discovered that autophagy plays a pivotal role in the formation of reward structures (gongylidia) in L. gongylophorus fungus, benefiting their leafcutter ant farmers. 🐜🍄 #ScienceTwitter #Ants #Fungi

A wonderful event for Koos Boomsma, the great giant in social evolution. His 40+ years of research has inspired so many people 💪 Glad to have been one of his academic offspring ❤️Thank Jon, Michael and Susanne for organising!

[Lee Henry @HenryLabSymbio]

Osedax bone eating worms are covered in a dense blanket of epibionts with unique genomes that undergo a successional shift as the whale carcass degrades. Are they serving a protective function? Find out more in our new paper in @mbiojournal 🪱🦠 go Balig!

@Meikeesther1 Thinking back, I was incredibly young and inexperienced to have made such a momentous decision. The prospect of fieldwork on my desired study organism and a creative website were enough to reel me in

[Aileen Berasategui @berasymbionts]

Beyond happy to share that I will be starting a new position as an Assistant Professor at @ALIFE_VU @VUamsterdam this fall!

My lab will be recruiting soon, so please reach out if symbiosis, chemical ecology & fungal genomics strike your fancy!

[Laboratory of Social Fluids @social_fluids]

Come join the @social_fluids lab! Looking for a postdoc who likes #ants, #bigquestions, #computers and #pipettes!

[Kristin Aleklett @KAleklett]

I was excited to visit @JonathanShik and his fungi and ants at the University of Copenhagen today and give a talk about #fungalbehaviour for their unit. Lots of good questions, discussions and cute ants!

[Jonathan @JonathanShik]

I'm thrilled to advertise a postdoctoral position using advanced imaging approaches to explore how nutrients flow through of the symbiotic fungus of leafcutter ants. 🐜🍃🔬

Come join my group at #UCPH in #Copenhagen! #carlsbergfondet

[Tom Rhys Bishop @TomRBishop]

And another! PhD opportunity @CUBiosciences to work with me, the amazing Dr Jo Lello and @red_termite on the interplay between thermal tolerance and parasitism in ants. Hugely important Qs in light of climate change and global pandemics... Ad:

Don’t miss a great opportunity to join my colleague Nina at the University of Copenhagen for a PhD in phage-host interactions!

Grant reviews have always been tough. Here's how I imagine an ancient proposal to discover coffee would have been reviewed.

@BoudAnt1 @MagSorger @CorrieMoreau @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @lovetheants @hormiga @DiscoverAnts Off the top of my head, Wilson (1983, BES 14:47-54) did a lab experiment with Atta cephalotes removing all media workers and measuring changes in colony-level caste allocation and foraging performance.
