Open call for PostDoc with background in (insect) genomics for our Insect Symbiosis Lab in České Budějovice! bucek-lab.org/join_us/
Horizontal gene transfer - a typical source of a major innovation in evolution or a positive publication bias? In the latest preprint from Bourguignon lab, termite genomes provide a story less frequently told. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Fresh preprint on how to optimize quality of voucher DNA remaining in insect specimens (including the not-so-fresh ones) after barcoding; from
@RudolfMeier15 lab and our lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Paper on the largest batch of reference-quality termite and cockroach genomes (45+2) is now avail as preprint. Congrats to to joint effort of @tom_oist ,@MarkChHarrison, @strepsipterman, Cong Liu, Cedric Aumont , @aaragret and co-authors!

Andrew Sweet from Arkansas State University is recruiting a PhD for an evolutionary biology project on a super-interesting phenomenon: fragmentation of mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. sweetomics.com/join-the-lab
Simon et al. updated termite family- and subfamily-level classification. Thanks to the genome-scale ultraconserved element data used here, this classification shall remain a stable backbone for termite evolution research for many future years. Congrats!
Hellemans et al. produce an updated termite classification with genomic scale analyses, highlighting thirteen family-level lineages and resilience of their classification to future termite research.

We are hiring! 🌟
Two PhD positions opened on species diversification and evolution of hymenopteran parasitoids in multi-trophic systems. Join our team at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿. Happy for retweets! Details: parasitoidwasps.com/uncatego…
PhD position on tripartite interaction of termites, termitophilous rove beetles, and microbes at the Institute of Entomology, Ceske Budejovice, Czechia. Co-supervised by me and Thomas Bourguignon @tom_oist. Thanks for sharing! entu.cas.cz/data/files/PhD_C…
Cheers,

Important information for all people interested in joining #Gtoe2023 👇👇👇
📢 Tomorrow (10th of May), we will fully close the registration for the 🌴European Conference of Tropical Ecology 🌴 gtoe2023.bc.cas.cz. Do not forget to apply for Travel grants for the event, deadline is also tomorrow. soctropecol.eu/content/trave… @soctropecol. Please RT.
Thanks @MarkChHarrison and others for organizing 1st International Conference for Blattodea Research. Many great talks and I was happy to talk about our research on convergent evolution in termite soldiers. Already looking forward to the 2nd ICBR :)
Excited about all the exciting roach and termite science we'll be discussing today and tomorrow.
