A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species

In a fire ant colony, a small subset of workers can the shift entire colony's social structure from single-queen to multiple-queens, but how can they achieve this? See my latest paper on @PNASNews https://t.co/Rn9sz8gxxk

Glad to share that our flagship paper of the GAGA project "The Adaptive Radiation and Social Evolution of the Ants" is now available as a preprint at https://t.co/vASFGjsp4W

Our new paper comparing how ants and people solve problems alone ot in groups just came out in PNAS!

@buck_trible Also thank you very much for the discussion after our CSHL meeting. ☺️

This year we celebrate 150 years of the discovery of fungus-farming ants 🐜🍄

Thomas Belt and Fritz Müller's simultaneous discoveries were communicated in @Nature by Wallace and Darwin (resp). Likewise, we remember their work in a Letter to the Editor.

A wonderful event for Koos Boomsma, the great giant in social evolution. His 40+ years of research has inspired so many people 💪 Glad to have been one of his academic offspring ❤️Thank Jon, Michael and Susanne for organising!

Happy to share our recent publication, where we combined the concept of superorganism (sensu Wheeler) and Waddington's epigenetic landscape to study the caste differentiation process in ants. https://t.co/ZwxhMxJsAP (1/4)

On my flight to #IUSSI2022! Can’t wait to learn about the exciting work in social insects! I will share our study on predicting individual’s caste fate at early stages with the Arrow of Time on Monday (S28)! @li_ruyan will also present a poster (P49) on functional validations!

Now it's official! I am thrilled to share the news that I will take up a Humboldt fellowship @AvHStiftung to join Prof. Judith Korb's lab @UniFreiburg, where we will work on a DFG @dfg_public funded project on the evolution of caste systems in termites! (1/5)
