Absence of visual cues motivates desert ants to build their own landmarks #mademyday #biodiversity. After tens of years of fieldwork, still such fundamental discoveries in ant homing #cataglyphis @mknaden1 @Freirilia

Hey friends, today our 7-year queen-like mutant project is out in Current Biology. These mutant raider ants show the core traits of parasitic ant species, but arose in a laboratory stock just a handful of generations before we discovered them -- probably due to a mutant supergene

I'm thrilled to advertise a postdoctoral position using advanced imaging approaches to explore how nutrients flow through of the symbiotic fungus of leafcutter ants. 🐜🍃🔬

Come join my group at #UCPH in #Copenhagen! #carlsbergfondet

It’s not exactly the T-1000—yet. But researchers have created a liquid metal robot that can mimic the shape-shifting abilities of the silvery, morphing killer robot in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. https://t.co/tyNW1CPLCy

New preprint out with @ptshults investigating the causes of high inbreeding in a Culicoides biting midge species with fluctuating population size.

Glad that this new year brings the publication of my first article in @HeredityJournal coming from my Master internship at @Le_Museum @EPHE_PSL with Claudie Doums! Thanks to the co-authors and especially @PaEyer for your collaboration.

A PhD position in my team! DeadlineJan 30.

Out on bioRxiv today: the first transgenic ants (in Christmas colors) provide some really cool insights into how the complex ant olfactory system works, and how general odorants and pheromones are represented in the ant brain. An absolute tour de force led by @teraxurato:

[Pierre Andre Eyer @PaEyer]

New paper out in Heredity. Using an ant species complex, we investigated how behavioral, chemical and morphometric analyses complement genetics to understand at which step of the species continuum two diverging populations are.

OpenPhD position to study sex chromosome in 🐸 ! Cool project + super nice supervisor 👍

New ant preprint w @HelmsLab @ed_vargo. Reduced waterproofing CHC favors the development of supercolonies but increases desiccation risk

Dr. Ed Vargo’s lab was featured in a recent article in @FuturityNews about their research that discovered a common ant species underwent physiological and behavioral changes when faced with moving to unnatural settings, such as urbanization. #TAMUBugs
