Congratulations to our 2021 #IUSSINAS Michener Award Winner, Kate Hunter!!

Kate is a @USUAggies grad student studying interactions between life history traits and social behavior in #bees such as (but not limited to) flexibly social sweat bees. 🐝

Congrats Mal! Exciting work on what influences solitary bee brain neuroplasticity!

Finally, Lactobacillus micheneri is highly prevalent in pollen provisions, feeding larvae, and nesting females, but was rare in newly emerged or lab-reared females, suggesting it is probably acquired from the external environment.

We also identified specific ASVs that are likely acquired from the nest or that change in abundance with age.

Makenna Johnson is also presenting in #EntSoc2020 in the Grad 10-min: SysEB, Social Insects section-“Maternal effects on offspring development and survival in the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata”. See you there!

[Kapheim Lab @KapheimLab]

Kate’s talk is on demand in the SysEB, Social Insects section. #EntSoc2020
