So, I have a PhD in Zoology now :)
What an adventure! Termites brought me a lot of good things, knowledge, patience (to dissect spermathecae and glands hehe), and good friends!
So excited about the future!

@Fredligeiro24 @TrueSlazac This comment is pure poetry. Thanks man

@TrueSlazac Tacos are not even popular in SA... If you're trying to be xenophobic, at least do some research first ;)

@tocomleonardo O solo de Maceió está literalmente afundando e vocês preocupados aprovando esse tipo de merda?

VII Symposium of Termitology is over!
It was great to see so many special people (@tiagoias, @pfellipec, @SangBinLee4, etc.).
So stoked to have received three awards in this edition 🪳🧠🏆

Differentiation of workers into soldiers is associated with a size reduction of higher-order brain centers in the neotropical termite Procornitermes araujoi @valadareslohan @termiteiago

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨
Physogastric termite queens are awesome! Here we show that important protein-based secretions are released into the lateral oviducts as queens age and mature. Such a secretion is related to the notorious egg-laying rate shown by them.

@SangBinLee4 Wow! Congrats! 👏👏

🚨🚨PAPER ALERT🚨🚨
Our study on neuroplasticity of #termites is out. Work-to-soldier differentiation results in size reduction of the mushroom bodies, a consequence of soldier specialization to defense.
Thanks @valadareslohan for the adventure! 🧠🪳🔬

🚨PAPER ALERT
The last paper of my PhD thesis is out at BES!
We followed colony development in major #termite pest species introduced in Brazil. Surprisingly, Coptotermes gestroi queens showed uninterrupted oviposition. Check it out the likely reasons!

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨
Third article from my PhD is out! Queens of the drywood #termite C. brevis show important morphophysiological and morphometric changes in the #spermatheca and colleterial #glands as they age, mate, and lay eggs.
