🐜 New study in @PNASNexus by @Polfe94@fredbartu et al.: Ants, a "liquid brain", where intel. emerges from interactions and movement. Two essential roles identified: exploration & collection. Eficciency depends on the flexible⚖️between them.

Bridging complex systems theory with actual biology: what biological details are needed to adjust the "liquid brain" hypothesis? what generalities does the theory offer, so that we can learn some general biology about collectives?? just read it!
Do ant colonies work like liquid brains? Check this great paper in @pnas, led by @ceabcsic Pol Fernandez-Lopez and @fredbartu, explaining foraging behaviour by modelling ants as mobile neural agents @JordiPinero

New paper out in @RSocPublishing!!
🌍🦟 Did you know climate change can favor or hinder mosquito populations depending on the species?
📜 Our study shows contrasting impacts on Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti across Europe.

@Insects_MDPI an interesting contribution that helps as understand better the residual survival of mosquitoes along the process of holding and transporting sterile mosquitoes to be used for mosquito control
@e4warning@FmelUf@BSC_CNS@ceabcsic what do mosquito females bite? do they change diet along the season, or across different landscapes? but first...where are blood-fed mosquitoes hiding?? thanks Nathan and Tanisse @FmelUf for your generosity, we learned a lot about mosquito ecology and field sampling strategies
🦠At #E4Warning, we study how landscapes impact #WestNileVirus circulation by examining mosquito feeding patterns.
🦟But finding blood-fed mosquitoes is not easy.
📽️Watch the video to see how we do it!
🙏Thanks to @FmelUf and @BSC_CNS for their visit and support at @ceabcsic.
A recent publication at our lab! Discovering human-mosquito interactions sat the local scale. Do we boost or dampen tiger mosquito populations?

La Ciencia Ciudadana es una vacuna contra el negacionismo
El @CSIC celebra la final del proyecto educativo que acompaña a un interesante proyecto de Ciencia Ciudadana:
Mosquito Alert
Han participado numerosos coles+institutos de todo el país
Gracias @ceabcsic por liderarlo!
This week we had a workshop related to @e4warning and @IDAlert on Climate and Vector Ecology at the @BSC_CNS with the Health Resilience Group led by @drrachellowe ! it was just great!! I love science...often
Congrats Maria @MGONZALEZ_BIO! It has also been a pleasure to work with you these last years. You did a very good job on novel aproaches for 🦟 surveillance. Many thanks to the Thesis commitee for your time and fruitful discussion. A good day to remember! @irtacat@CReSA_r
Today #laCaixaResearch celebrates the Ceremony of the 2023 CaixaResearch Health Awards. I proudly can say I was awarded in 2020. Since then, this call has grown and matured. Now is a reference in health research.
FACT: There's unprecedented #biodiversity loss due to global change 📉💥 We are excited to team up with four #research centers to take on the challenge of predicting its impacts through this project! Want to learn more? Look! 👀👉 https://t.co/OsPTWHrxmO
thanks @safilabmpi its great to have you on board with us to run @e4warning ! there will be more visits...and interesting stuff in the field! stay tuned!
Shorter than anticipated but no less productive site visit to meet and coordinate with the best people you could wish for collabs. We will be studying bird movement in a mosaic of natural, agricultural, and urban landscape to understand how diseases move. #E4Warning@fredbartu
🦟 La importancia de los sistemas de vigilancia para contener enfermedades emergentes.
🗣️ Genial entrevista a @tmontal en @el_pais: <Ya no podemos evitar que haya brotes de #dengue en España, pero sí reducir su número o prevenir que sean muy granes. Ese es el objetivo.> 👇
📢 #EMCA Conference finished but our activities continue…
🦟 Meeting of this afternoon between #MosquitoControl experts and @TDRnews & @WHO representatives in order to advance in the development of “Best Practices for #mosquito control in built-up areas” document 🔝
