Excellent talk by @BauhusMarc from the @LabKurtz at #ESEB2022 showing us how macro parasite infections alter the sleeping behavior of #sticklebacks #Prague

Don’t miss @K8Jaime talk on species coexistence at #ESEB2022. He will present his work this Thursday, 1415, Panorama Hall.

Come check out our work at the poster session this Thursday at #ESEB2022 ! 📢Below the posters, you will find details about openings for a Professor and a PhD position in the Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity at the University of Muenster, Germany.

Come check out the talk from our PhD student, Ana Sofia Lindeza! #ESEB2022 South Hall 1B, 10:45

Come join us in the DFG GEvol project. Send us your application for the position @LabKurtz in Münster until the 9th of September uni-muenster.de/Rektorat/Stell…

Excited to join #ESEB2022 in Prague. I will give a talk about stickleback sleep upon tapeworm infection on Thursday at 11:45 in South Hall 1A. Looking forward to meet you at the conference!

Congratulations to @ana_korsa and @Bionicnic for their latest publications on changes in Tribolium microbiome upon immune priming (doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…) and adaptation of human probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 in Tribolium (doi.org/10.1093/emph/e…).

We are extremely happy & proud to announce that, after evaluation by the #DFG, our SFB will continue for 4 more years! Congrats 👏 to all members and contributors! Stay tuned for more research on individualized niches!

**Funded PhD and PostDoc offer** @NC3Niche We offer exciting projects to study the ecological and evolutionary consequences of host-parasite interactions from the individual to the ecosystem level. See uni-muenster.de/Evolution/anim…

Very proud that our group member Barbara Milutinovic got the @MSCActions fellowship at Rudjer Boskovic Institute in Zagreb to study evolution of group disease defences Congratulations Barbara @BarbaraMilutin1

Paper from one of our new lab member is out - congrats @robertpeuss

Congratulations to our Master student @Bionicnic for the successful defense of his thesis!

Despite the current situation, one paper from our lab is published #smurfassay #beetles #Bacillus Congrats to Ana and Caroline, we are expecting a paper cake soon!

We are searching for a new postdoc! For the details see the text below! dzg-ev.de/wp-content/upl…
