Ants can communicate via pheromone ""danger signals" to avoid threats. They accomplish this through a specialized processing center in their brain not yet found in any other social insect.

Researchers in @danielkronauer's lab have created the world’s first transgenic ants, whose olfactory sensory neurons flash neon green in the presence of odors. Using this new experimental system, they've shed light on how colonies respond to danger signals.https://t.co/meuW9G5jPG
Ant worker genes affect their broods development in a context-dependent way. An exciting example of how the environment of caregivers can change the effects they have on offspring. Open access @BehavEcol, with @StephanyValdesR and @DanielKronauer.

A study from @DanielKronauer's lab shows that a newly discovered “social fluid” appears to unite ant colonies across developmental stages into one superorganism. #RockefellerScience

This 10-year-old is leading the fight against climate change in Colombia - on the streets and in the Senate.
Like @GretaThunberg - Francisco protests for immediate climate action every Friday.
Nuestra investigadora Claudia Medina, asistió y documentó la secuencia de reproducción y cría de tres especies de escarabajos coprófagos de Colombia.
Las crías podrían, a largo plazo, reintroducirse en ecosistemas donde se ha diezmado su presencia.

Por décima vez: la corrupción se combate ampliando la cobertura y la calidad de lo público, de modo que la gente empiece a entender que si le roba al Estado se roba a sí mismo. Sin construir el vínculo de propiedad común con lo público no sucederá, por más consultas y consignas.
