Finally published my master’s work in Global Ecology and Biogeography! 🦋🌎Huge thanks to all coauthors for their patience and support during this project. If you’re interested in butterflies/mimicry/biogeography, or just curious, you can read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

Help students attend the 2026 IUSSI conference in Freiburg, Germany! 🐝 Our goal is to support at least 4 students. Let's raise more than $10,000 and show our support for students in our community! 🐝 PLEASE donate if you can! Scan this QR code, or click the link in the thread 🐝

We are delighted to host the Biology25 conference @UNIL on 13-14 February, 2025. We are also bringing four engaging Satellite Events on February 12th. 📢Registration and abstract submission are now open! Spread the word! #Biology25 Details on biology25.ch

Seeing Ant Course friends in Lausanne brought back memories from the course. Here is one of my favourite species from then, a Colobostruma. Thanks Doug Booher @antmuseum for showing me a colony!

@EvoEcoGen Thank you very much Chris!! Indeed, the rest will be even more enjoyable without the stress of presenting :)

@EdPerochon Congrats, that's a big milestone! Enjoy the rest of the meeting.

Just had my first conference talk today! I presented my work on ant biogeography 🐜 at #iussi2024 Great times here in Lausanne with so many inspiring people!

Had an amazing time at the European Antcourse! Wonderful people there (wonderful ants too). Goodbye Banyuls ✌🏻

Closing after a great European Ant course! Learned lots of taxonomy! @conurban_ant @limariaph @callofduda @Cible31 @AbelBernadou and more!

🔍 Differentiating fly species by eye, especially their larvae, is a tough task. 🧠 But on a temperature gradient, we discovered distinct behaviours. 🏔️ These temperature preference shifts align with their ecologies! Read more in our latest preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For the one who missed the info, here is a small recap of our findings published in @NatureComms : communities.springernature.com/posts/non-nati…

We are happy to announce that our paper is finally out in @NatureComms 🎉. It is about ant biogeography and how non-native ants species impacts biogeographic boundaries and are homogenizing ant species assemblages. Come and have a look here 👉doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

🆕post: From 7-11 July 2024, the European meeting of the International Union for the Study of Social Insects (IUSSI) @euroIUSSI2024 will be held @unil in #Lausanne, #Switzerland. Here, @BertelsmeierC & the organising committee share important information blog.myrmecologicalnews.org/2024/01/22/eur…

Abstract submission is now open!! Follow this link to register for the conference: wp.unil.ch/iussi-europe-2… You have until February 15th to submit your work. We look forward to seeing you in Lausanne 🐜🐝

Despite our hard work, the registration website for the conference is not yet open. It will open in the coming days! Stay updated on our twitter/X feed or on the website: wp.unil.ch/iussi-europe-2… 🐜🐝

The orchid mantis’ petal-shaped legs allow it to glide 50% to 200% farther than other invertebrates. scim.ag/51j @NewsfromScience

Looking forward to the European IUSSI meeting in Lausanne next summer and many exciting talks! You can now submit your Abstracts and I am happy to see our Symposia (together with Sylvia Cremer) on "Social immunity within and beyond superorganisms" being on the list! 🚑🐜🐝🚑

In a prospective study, an autism screening app administered using a tablet computer to young children showed high diagnostic accuracy and may facilitate a scalable approach to autism screening. @GeriDawson nature.com/articles/s4159…

Très content d'avoir pu présenter mon premier poster au congrès de la section FR de l'IUSSI 🐜🐝

Tristan is a PhD student in Bertelsmeier’s group at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. He has a broad interest in insect ecology with a preference for ants. He is working on the ecology and evolution of color in ants at different scales from interspecific variation.
