Our Department of Biology at the University of Dayton is hiring for a lecturer specializing in Field Ecology to start this summer. See ad here: https://t.co/rRcX5PEBLF

[Dr. Chelse Prather @Chelse_Prather]

@Ryan_Reihart worked with Samantha Johnson to present his work on how invasive tawny crazy ants affect grasshoppers, and what crazy ants eat.

[Dr. Chelse Prather @Chelse_Prather]

Awesome #scicomm coming from the graduate students in my lab working together! Check it out!

Crazy ants are craving calcium! This awesome #scicomm graphic from MS student @StephKGunter in @Chelse_Prather lab highlights some main findings in my most recent paper!

Promotion-eligible field ecology lecturer position is open here at University of Dayton. Pass this along to folks that might be interested! Apply here: https://t.co/j6nbnziom5

[Ryan McEwan @mcewanlab]

We are hiring a full time, promotion eligible, lecturer in field ecology here @univofdayton.

Please help me spread the word!

It is a *new* position at an exciting time for UD and for the Environmental Biology major.

In infested areas, the tawny crazy ant covers the ground in MILLIONS. The ants can harm other insects, asphyxiate small livestock and even short-circuit electronics in homes 😬

Even though it’s a bit chilly, it was a bunch of fun getting outside and teaching a bit over Zoom!

[Dr. Chelse Prather @Chelse_Prather]

Just did my first outside Zoom class! The TA for the course @Ryan_Reihart and I showed how to use Seek and iNaturalist to ID stuff in the winter, which they have to do for lab this week on their own since we are remote. We had fun, and I hope the students got something out of it!

Invasive tawny #crazyants have an intense craving for #calcium – with implications for their spread in the US @ConversationEDU https://t.co/7dwHxsdewq

[Ryan Reihart, PhD @Ryan_Reihart]

You say #crazyants have an intense calcium craving?!

Check out this piece I wrote in the @ConversationUS about our new paper in @ESAEcology showing that calcium may boost the abundance of #invasive tawny crazy ants!
