Happy to share my first publication on a non-social insect: Mantids! Here we show the first species list of mantids in the Comoé Nationalpark. We found a total of 35 species, with many occuring far more north than expected and 2 being described for the first time in Ivory Coast!

We are looking for a postdoc in comparative genomics/bioinformatics! They will be working in a collaborative environment on an exciting project about synteny, orthology, evolution, gene loss and 🍅. Details: https://t.co/ypalMmdIaW Please share! @DessimozLab @SebastianSoyk
After ~7 yr of work, it's finally out! We present a molecular phylogeny of butterflies sampling >90% of genera & >2000 spp. Butterflies emerged ~100 million yr ago in North America and first fed on legumes. Thanks to all 87 co-authors from 28 countries! https://t.co/fY5igGzuji

This is Matias Rodriguez PhD student at the University of Münster. Matias works in developing a pipeline for TE annotation in ant genomes, and in a machine learning software for TE classification. 🐜💻
This event might also serve as a springboard to create a Blattodea Research Society to synergize Blattodea research in all fields and hopefully make #cockroaches and #termites the model system of the 21st century!!!
Don't miss the 1st ever #conference on #cockroaches and #termites#research the deadline is fast approaching 26th of February!!!! Register soon in https://t.co/pD62oRvHcV
