This is an incredibly cool finding! Ants perform amputations to prevent the systemic spread of infections, a behavior so far only known in humans. Grateful to Erik for bringing me on board this project to run microbiological analyses and an infection experiment. Ants rock! 🐜

Still a few days left to apply for the PhD position!

Excited to share our review on the macroevolution of plant-hummingbird pollination! This charismatic interaction, considered a classic example of coevolution, involves 7,000 plant species across ~100 families and 366 hummingbird species in the Americas https://t.co/ffSijRGEIc

The complex social behavior of ants has fascinated humans for centuries, but only now is it becoming possible to study ant behavior at the neural circuit level. New review with @Dom_Frank3 in @AnnualReviews: The Budding Neuroscience of Ant Social Behavior

Behavior of ant queens is shaped by their social environment:
Specialization as mere egg-layers is reversible and initiated and maintained by the presence of workers https://t.co/NeqPiAQcSx #BehavioralBiology #insects #ants #SocialInsects #LasiusNiger #SocialEvolution
