Our new paper is out today in Nature Communications! We used machine learning to analyse gene expression changes in paper wasp social groups following the death of a queen. Big thanks to my co-authors Alessandro Cini Chris Wyatt @MaxReuterEvo Prof Seirian Sumner doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Our new paper published on Molecular Ecology is finally online! This study has been possible thanks to the amount of barcoding data produced in more than a decade and the great work done by the iNaturalist community! Link: doi.org/10.1111/mec.15… RG: bit.ly/36LR5LL

The importance of wasps for us and our ecosystems! Find out more #wasplove in our review, out today on Biological Reviews Prof Seirian Sumner Ryan Brock UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research Università di Firenze onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

While people love to hate wasps, they could be as valuable as the more beloved bees "if only we gave them more of a chance”: Prof Seirian Sumner Prof Seirian Sumner UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research studied wasps' roles as predators, pollinators & more with Alessandro Cini & Ryan Brock #wasplove ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/apr/…

It's #QueenWaspDay! De Wespenvriend @BlueSky @Wespenvriend.nl is instigating a new tradition to celebrate #wasps, on 30th April - a time in the N hemisphere when people start noticing these beautiful mama-wasps-to-be. Queen wasps produce 10s-1000s workers, with impt roles in ecosystems. #wasplove

Another fun #F2F outdoor teaching session on UCL’s fabulous #portico #UCLquad. Fresh air kept the students’ discussions lively and engaged! Hoping we can squeeze out another week or two outside before it gets too cold. UCL Biosciences UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research Alessandro Cini

The cool news is that in the Apennines there is a genetically unique population of Erebia pandrose. The bad news is that this small population left at the top of a mountain is endangered by climate change. Check out our latest paper! doi.org/10.1111/icad.1…

Honeybees use social distancing when mites threaten hives! Happy to have worked on this with Michelina Pusceddu and an international and nice team! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
