Check our our new chapter on comparative evolutionary genomics in insects: link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

Happy to share my first publication on a non-social insect: Mantids! Here we show the first species list of mantids in the Comoé Nationalpark. We found a total of 35 species, with many occuring far more north than expected and 2 being described for the first time in Ivory Coast!

Check out our new review on the Genomic Signatures of Eusocial Evolution in Insects, just published in COIS with @aaragret & @RinkeStack sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

You are an early career scientist interested in Evolution or Behavioural Ecology? Join our graduate meeting at the University of Bayreuth! Invited speakers are Jutta Schneider and Joel Meunier.

@MooHoll @uniofleicester Congratulations, Hollie!

Excited to finally announce that I will be starting my research group @uniofleicester broadly in the area of transgenerational consequences of environmental change 🎉 See mooholl.github.io for more details. #Epigenetics #Arthropods #ClimateChange #TransgenerationalHealth

We had a really great first day of our annual GEvol meeting with great talks and socializing. We are looking forward two our second day.

@evolvingORs @NIH @NIGMS @santiaguetz @DanielKronauer @neuroluci @drosobachia @lindymcbr Congrats, Glückwunsch!

ALERT New paper!!! Age- and caste-independent piRNAs in the germline and miRNA profiles linked to caste and fecundity in the ant Temnothorax rugatulus biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

check out our new preprint on the influence of domain rearrangements in the evolution of termite castes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are looking for a postdoc in comparative genomics/bioinformatics! They will be working in a collaborative environment on an exciting project about synteny, orthology, evolution, gene loss and 🍅. Details: tinyurl.com/4fenkydr Please share! @DessimozLab @SebastianSoyk

After ~7 yr of work, it's finally out! We present a molecular phylogeny of butterflies sampling >90% of genera & >2000 spp. Butterflies emerged ~100 million yr ago in North America and first fed on legumes. Thanks to all 87 co-authors from 28 countries! rdcu.be/dcaVU

I am excited to announce the first SMBE Satellite Meeting on De Novo Gene Birth! Register and check out our wonderful lineup of speakers here: agriliferegister.tamu.edu/website/56645/ When: November 6-9, 2023 Where: Texas A&M University, College Station, TX More updates soon!

Took a while, but this magnificent piece of work on novel small ORFs is finally out!

Thesis successfully defended and paper accepted in @ThePlantJournal Many congratulations to the PhD 🧑‍🎓!!@explorer_priya 🥳💐🥂@IFink_lab @WWU_Muenster

Great talk on cockroach phylogenies with @FredLeg10 talking about the importance of Museum specimens, morphological characters and fossil data #ICBR

This is Matias Rodriguez PhD student at the University of Münster. Matias works in developing a pipeline for TE annotation in ant genomes, and in a machine learning software for TE classification. 🐜💻

Excited about all the exciting roach and termite science we'll be discussing today and tomorrow. uni-muenster.de/news/view.php?…

This event might also serve as a springboard to create a Blattodea Research Society to synergize Blattodea research in all fields and hopefully make #cockroaches and #termites the model system of the 21st century!!!

Don't miss the 1st ever #conference on #cockroaches and #termites #research the deadline is fast approaching 26th of February!!!! Register soon in icbr2023.com
