Rethinking the role of a behavioral shift in the emergence of eusociality in termites

Here is a paper that has been 5 years in the making which I am rather content with.

@r_mashup @james_gilbert @Pselaphinae @sheborg Sorry, no. I am not aware of of anything.

Check out this review that I wrote with @C_B_Cunningham and @peterkdearden - is DNA methylation important for phenotypic plasticity? spoiler: we don't even really know what DNA methylation *does* in insects 🐝 - so many exciting things to still discover! https://t.co/xFNtHXrr6C

[Chris Cunningham @C_B_Cunningham]

@e_j_duncan @peterkdearden But we do know a few things it is likely not to be doing ... details inside https://t.co/MKP2m4WczZ

Ahvi Potticary joined us as a postdoc. Ahvi earned her PhD at the U of AZ EEB working on birds. @AllenJMoore has convinced her that beetles are where it's at in the parental care world. She is still excited to see new birds here in the Southeast. 🐦

Really fun paper with @moss_etal. Plastic parents? Not so much. https://t.co/E5B8cZFT51

[Chris Cunningham @C_B_Cunningham]

Excellent news.

[Alvin Orbaek White, PhD @Dr_Orb]

Some good news for a change?

I got some funding to do more research about converting plastics to other functional materials. This will secure new equipment and keep research jobs going forwards.

Really cool work (and fascinating ) from @trishannmoore and @Schmitz_Lab collaboration. I’m a tad biased but really, it’s way better than methylation. https://t.co/OimWZKnN8I
