🌀New paper🌀 Great to see our new OKEON 美ら森プロジェクト paper out today in Global Change Biology! Using an acoustic sensor array 🎤🎵 🐦 across Okinawa island, we found that typhoons 🌀 elicit divergent ecological responses across the island: oist.jp/news-center/ne…

Using sound collected before/during/after super-typhoon Trami in 2018, OIST #researchers have discovered that Okinawan ecosystems are surprisingly resilient to extreme #weather. That may change as extreme weather events get worse due to #climatechange 🌀👉oist.jp/news-center/ne…

Ants recognize infected battlefield wounds of their nestmates and treat them with antibiotic secretions. New paper in Nature Communications

3) But the NBA got tired of competing for players and fans and agreed to merge with the ABA 2 years later. But there was a catch. The NBA only wanted 4 of the 7 ABA teams: • New York Nets • Denver Nuggets • Indiana Pacers • San Antonio Spurs The other 3 were out of luck.

New paper with Evan Economo about metacommunuty stability is now available as 'Just Accepted' by the American Naturalist! doi.org/10.1086/729601 (Proof to come in several weeks with the same DOI.) 1/

Congrats to Evan Economo & @ndimhypervol on winning Japan's National Champion title in the Frontiers Planet Prize for their pioneering paper in Science Advances, the first high-res global ant mapping! Three World Champions to be announced in June! bit.ly/3Wi3dP4

New wound care behavior in ants! Here we show how ants amputate the leg of injured conspecifics (a first in the animal kingdom)! Interestingly, amputations are not always the best strategy to care for a wound and ants have adapted their treatment accordingly. A 🧵... (1/6)

My 2nd work on ant biogeographic regions is now published in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146… We show the complex biogeographic relationships among different taxa and the value of including insect groups in global bioregionalizations! The University of Hong Kong HKU School of Biological Sciences

Pleased to share the first paper from my PhD at OIST, showing that #eusociality did not drive the expansions in the number of odorant receptors in #Hymenoptera! 🐜🐝 Big thanks to all my co-authors! @Dorylophile Julian Katzke Paco Hita-Garcia Shûhei Yamamoto & Evan Economo

.UMD Entomology's Evan Economo explores how evolution shapes the diversity of life and how biodiversity copes with a changing world. In tomorrow's #RedditAMA, Evan will answer questions about biodiversity and his research on ants—submit your questions: redd.it/1gusgj5

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Japan must lose its tight focus on individual disciplines if it is to keep pace with the evolving requirements of scientific enquiry go.nature.com/4aZcaCy

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from Joshua Weitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org

NSF budgets slashed by 50%, ongoing grants cancelled, NSF staff drastically reduced, all 37 divisions abolished, and grants will now be reviewed by a political kommissar. How will that help technological leadership? linkedin.com/posts/yann-lec…

Our article about the adaptive radiation and social evolution of the ants is now out in Cell! We analyze 163 ant genomes to explore the evolution of these amazing social insects 🐜 Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
