#Istudyevolution in ants to understand how conflict and differences in life history and behavioral traits can contribute to diversity and the formation of new species #DarwinDay
Hello friends!
La Pouillette, a wonderful, adorable cat, has badly injured herself falling from a high place. Any help you could give - even just sharing the donation link - would be amazing!
Thanks!
(I can give more details for any French non-speaker!)

@Andrew_Akbashev @DrGAWilliams16 @NMarianoCorrea So, then in your mind:
Step 1: Play into the toxic system, which de facto excludes any cultural diversity so that you can "change it from the inside"
Step 2: Perpetuate the toxic system and place the burden on future trainees to change the system.
...Repeat ad nauseam
The role of polygyny in the evolution of ant social parasitism has long been suspected, but was never tested. We found that inquiline social parasitism is almost twice as likely to have evolved in polygynous hosts!
New paper! Our study (with Christian Rabeling) of inquiline social parasitism in multi-queen ant colonies is out today in @SciReports :

We found an association between polygyny and social parasitism in ant colonies!
I donโt care if you donโt want to hear this; overturning Roe v. Wade is an erosion of womenโs rights and reinforces this absurd, backwards notion that women shouldnโt be allowed to be in control of their own bodies. If you DONโT think thatโs absurd and backwards, fuck you.
@RTSOregon @keviemetal@onepointofvu@MaxKennerly@davidaxelrod Ah, yes. The police force that takes up 40% of its town budget got boo-boos on their feelings, so they *check notes* let 19 kids get shot and actively stopped anyone else form trying to stop the massacre. That sure showed us how much they're needed and helpful...
I've seen many ppl make the argument to the extent of "banning AR 15s won't work, the shooter would have done as much damage with a handgun"
And you know what, I think that's a great argument.
Just not for the reasons they think.
@NjJamison @llison_codes @Judy73168821 @nytimes Ok, so you agree that there should be a mandatory mental health evaluation for all people seeking to buy guns then, right?
