🤩Excited to share our new paper in @ScienceAdvances 🐜 ! We describe a new molecular mechanism underlying complementary sex determination in the Argentine ant 🐜, involving a long non-coding RNA that we named ANTSR :) 🐜

Greenbeard effects in plants.
Germain Montazeaud@germmtz
Have you heard about greenbeards? We just published an opinion piece on how this particular type of selfish genetic element could affect plant-plant interactions @NewPhyt @DEE_UNIL @AgapInstitut nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

New paper on wound care in ants! Here we show that nestmates treat infected wounds more than sterile ones and that they use a battery of antimicrobial compounds to do so! This was a massive interdisciplinary project so let me tease it apart: (1/9)

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine
We report an extraordinary reproductive system in the yellow crazy ant. 🐜
Males of this species are all chimeras: they carry maternal and paternal genomes in different cells of their body. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Ants never cease to amaze. The latest and craziest in the saga of ant reproductive systems by @hgdarras and @KellerLab_Ants: males in the yellow crazy ant are chimeras of two distinct genetic lineages:
Rockefeller University@RockefellerUniv
In this @ScienceMagazine perspective, @DanielKronauer discusses a new study showing that the males of an invasive species known as "yellow crazy ants" are chimeras of two distinct genetic lineages: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrat Katja!!! We are all happy to see this work out !!!
Katja Hoedjes@KatjaHoedjes
My most recent paper! Providing a rare example of functional validation at the nucleotide level, our results show that a SNP associated with life-history evolution in the fruit fly has remarkably large, pleiotropic effects on fecundity and viability doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

New preprint from the lab, in which nematodes related to C. elegans ambush ants, infect their head, and change their behavior. tinyurl.com/yckek3fu. Lead by @ZimaiLi, with @ETF1989, T. Schmitt, @EconomoLab, F. Azuma, @DarrenJParker, T. Oliveira-Honorato, V. Bachmann

Back to France! After 15 years following ants in Lausanne, New York and Mainz, they finally led me to @IRBI_Tours, which I have newly joined as a @CNRS researcher. Excited to keep on studying the evolution and functioning of insect societies!

New paper out w/ @Shuping75138068 @yang_scotty @KellerLab_Ants and & colleagues.
We show that the widespread longhorn crazy ant is likely native to the Indian subcontinent and that queens and males worldwide belong to two separate clonal lineages.🐜
