New paper published! doi.org/10.1111/btp.13… Thanks to all my coauthors @mil_janda, Madai Rosas, Fátima Sandoval & Juan Morrone

Academics on X - I really used a lot this sign to indicate the unpublished results not to be shared in my lectures. How do I cross X now? @elonmusk

MSc in Ecology program which I co-organize admits students twice a year with the nearest application deadline on 18 May 2023. The program is fully in English and emphasizes MSc project, biostatistics and excursions. Get in touch and apply if interested! prf.jcu.cz/ecology

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

We are looking for a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate global ant evolution using large-scale phylogenies in Berlin! More details and how to apply: evol.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir…

@myrmecoPhil Cool photos! Yeah, there are several polymorphic species among Melanesian Strumigenys. I think quite often you can find them in S. loriae (common around Madang), S. chyzeri, S. mayri...

I didn't know this existed until recently: Highly polymorphic Strumigenys!

@mareklborowiec @ColoradoStateU @GilletteMuseum awesome! big congrats.

Our planet is positively teeming with “little things that run the world”-invertebrates. Yet, it has been a challenge to see the big picture of how invertebrate diversity is distributed around the globe. Happy to share that, finally, we have a detailed view for one group: ants.

Ending the war means thinking more about the Ukrainian people and their future, and and worrying less about problems that Putin does not in fact have. 17/17

In terms of #myrmecological books that are important identification resources and regional guides to #ants what am I missing from the list below? (bearing in mind this doesn't include taxonomic papers with keys - that would be a loooonngg thread)

@manuelhborbolla Llegó propaganda rusa a México

La llamada "invasión rusa a Ucrania" no es sino un montaje mediático más, impulsado por EE.UU. y sus aliados, muy similar al que vimos en Iraq y Afganistán. EE.UU. utilizó a Ucrania como arma geopolítica para provocar a Rusia hasta que la respuesta finalmente llegó.

El despliegue informativo de los medios occidentales -afines a los intereses de EE.UU. y sus aliados- en torno a la "operación militar especial" anunciada por Putin, contrasta enormemente con la manera en que dichos medios, ocultaron y minimizaron bombardeos en Donetsk y Luhansk.

I will be recruiting PhD and MSc students this winter interested in developing and applying new computational methods to ask fundamental questions from fossil, morphological, and phylogenomic data. Please get in touch if you are interested in helping start up our lab @eebtoronto!
