My MSc ms is published 🐜🧠 We found that acorn ants get faster at decision-making with experience, but not more accurate. We used social network analysis to measure social connectedness and workload distribution, both of which remained stable over time.

Led by biology professor Dr. Emily Austen, Wild Bees Sackville seeks to assess the significance of human-built naturalized sites in supporting bee populations.

5 students worked on the project in 2023, incl. #sociology and #biology student Chloe Jackson: https://t.co/NeK8d3VEBR

I love snow, but I don’t like walking on slushy sidewalks while cars get nicely plowed roads 🥲

Sharing with you one of my favorite discoveries so far in this summer: the charismatic Brown Wasp #Mantidfly (𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘢). It mimics the appearance of paper wasps (𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘴 sp.). Guess what those white balls on the body are?
