🆕Interview: In the interview, "Always keep your samples in a freezer", Antoine Felden talks about his recent research on viral loads and immune responses in invasive ants answers some questions. #ant #immunology @AntoineFelden @limariaph @bcportinha blog.myrmecologicalnews.org/2024/11/05/alw…

I just published a bunch of cool stuff on globular springtails! Read about it and watch them here: news.ncsu.edu/2024/08/this-t…

We just started a search for a postdoc to join my lab group to study honey bee microbes through some collaborative/interdisciplinary projects. We will review applications through Aug 19. Full ad here: igb.illinois.edu/sites/default/…

New Ant Lab video out today, guest narrated by Joe Pera!!!!

@AdrianaFSouto Hola muchas gracias por la sugerencia, pero prefiero dejarlo así. Busco estudiantes Argentinos para hacer un estudio en Argentina. Es sin remuneración (cómo suelen ser las tesis de licenciatura).

Se busca estudiante de Argentina para realizar tesis de licenciatura.

If you have a sequence that you love – a gene family, transposable element, regulatory feature – you probably spend a lot of time looking for it in different sets of sequence. If so, you might find our latest tool, Klumpy, useful. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New video today! CAT FLEAS! all the slow motion shots of adult fleas jumping & larval fleas crawling you can handle. PLUS some timelapse sequences of flea eggs hatching! (link in reply)

The paper is published online in Current Biology today: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ant mandible cuticle varies in its mechanical properties and shows heterogeneity in transition metal accumulation, with consequences to stress distribution. Thanks @Heethoff, Wencke Krings, Stas Gorb and Jörg Hammel for this incredible collaboration. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Invasive plants evolve over time in introduced habitats, with most traits diverging but not consistently in one direction, except for growth which increases with residence time. 🌱 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio… #invasivespecies

A few years ago, I got fascinated by the springtails living in my yard. Since then, I've made a bunch of Ant Lab YouTube videos about them. Last week, I published the first of what will eventually be several science papers about them: doi.org/10.1016/j.asd.…

Thrilled to be part of this collaboration!Led by @liamrdougherty here is a systematic map of studies testing the relationship between temperature and animal reproduction besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26…

!!Funded PhD available (start 2024)!! Do you want to study #collectivebehaviour in weaver ants (in particular how they build their ultra-cool and totally unstudied silk nests), and develop #bioinspired #3Dprinting #swarmrobotics? Let me know! And please RT!
