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!

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.
Registrations for the 28th DZG Graduate Meeting Evolutionary Biology in Bayreuth are NOW OPEN!
@DrTainaConrad and I are looking forward to your abstract submissions, and to welcome you here in Bayreuth at @unibt from April 12th - 14th 2024! bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/eb20…

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

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!!!

This is Sarah who is a PhD student at the University of Münster. She will be investigating the genomic mechanisms linked to the multiple origins of subsociality, as well as the rare higher forms of sociality in burying beetles and wood-boring weevils 🪲.

Preprint out now! We show that building strong caste dimorphisms in ants co-evolved with complex eusociality traits and was achieved by shifting from the ancestral feeding pattern of larvae, enabling firmer colony control over larval caste fate. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
