This new publication concludes a first chapter in our study of the causes and consequences of granivory in ants and myrmecophilous silverfish. We combine stable isotope profiling, feeding assays, phylogeny, and microbiome analyses of a broad insect panel https://t.co/y9P2UngfHj

Proud to present: 🐟 Chapter 3 of my #PhD --> now available in Science of the Total Environment. Read about how #eDNA metabarcoding can be used to monitor fish communities in the Scheldt estuary! ⚓️

Dr Nicky Wybouw @NWybouw will be joining #PEC2024 as our plenary speaker!

His lab studies questions in the broader fields of speciation, herbivory, and symbiosis. Within these fields, dr Wybouw studies the molecular-genetic basis of key complex traits such as hybrid dysfunction

We are pleased to show our freshly published review article in the polyploidy special issue of @Oikos_Journal . We review polyploid establishment and show how coexistence theory can help to undertstand it. https://t.co/X4cNY5v5I3

@Marinasentis shows that biophysical models can accurately predict the energy expenditure of small passerine birds, especially if avian thermoregulatory behavior such as feather fluffing is accounted for. https://t.co/EknpnMHHXm first PhD chapter! @CesarePacioni @TEREC_ugent

Amazing talk by @CamilleTroisi on the stopping behaviour of two gull species at Behaviour 2023!! @cobe_lab

Out now @HeredityJournal - our study of the underlying mechanisms and relevance of Wolbachia-induced sex allocation distortion (Sd) in haplodiploids!
Sd is an often neglected symbiont-mediated reproductive phenotype in haplodiploids and is expressed when females are infected.

[Nick Wybouw @NWybouw]

Proud to be part of this body of work that was spearheaded by Silke and Yu-Hsien. We identified and characterized an enzyme of an insect herbivore that modulates the green leaf volatiles of its host plant but also plays a key role in its development. https://t.co/BNfzufw65i

Excellent new work by Bram and colleagues!

[Bram Catfolis @BCatfolis]

The first paper of my PhD is now published! We examined how forest structural complexity affects birds nutritional status, inferred from their feather growth rate, and showed a postitive impact.

We were again blessed with seeing sea sparkle (zeevonk) in our North Sea.

[TEREC @TEREC_ugent]

Another successful field biology course for 3d y bachelors completed! Students participated in experimental design, performed their field work independently, and made a video report of their results and conclusions. We also reached our target of identifying 500 species in 5 days!

Tonight, I will tell you all about how #eDNA can be used to detect riverine fish @pintofscienceBE
See you there! 🍻

[TEREC @TEREC_ugent]

Well done Femke!

[Karen Bisschop @BisschopKaren]

Thank you @ASNAmNat for this honour, I am really greatful for this recognition! And also thanks to my coauthors @AAlzateVallejo @BonteDries @rampaletienne

Great EVENET initiative!

[Nick Wybouw @NWybouw]

@diecasfranco and Michal Kolasa (not on twitter) are sharing their brilliance during an @FWOVlaanderen EVENET workshop on host-symbiont interactions!
