Understanding ant bodies: One scan at a time The head anatomy of #Tatuidris was this year's #BestPaper, as voted on by the Myrmecological News community. Here, first author Adrian Richter talks about his academic journey and how to untangle ant evolution. Adrian Richter

Some of my ant photos.

🚨 Open postdoctoral position in our lab Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology! Clonal ants, social glands, behaviour and chemistry. More details here: bit.ly/3IBA6OO and on ulrichlab.com. Please RT!

Our paper revising the classification and describing new Cretaceous fossils of Megalyridae wasps is finally out in Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny 🥳 🔗 arthropod-systematics.arphahub.com/article/111148/

New fossil ants, insight into ant faunal turnover, and the persistence of the "platonic ant body plan"! Our paper on the youngest-yet stem ants from the Cretaceous, preserved in ~77 Ma North Carolina amber, is now out in Current Biology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Preparándonos para el próximo #EncuentroMirmecológicoGEHN con Adrian Richter y su charla "The potencial of studying ant morphology using micro-CT" 🐜🐜🐜🤩🤩🤩 Te esperamos!!! 🗓️ 25 de abril (Jueves) 🕖 19:00 h COL (UTC-5) ONLINE!!!!

Started off as an #amber found at the Phyletisches Museum, turned out to be African copal, and even younger! Whole thing was a big process, from grinding, polishing, thoughts on amber, his history to new discoveries: dez.pensoft.net/article/112433/ Thanks everyone for their contribution...

Te presentamos a Adrián Richter, con quién vamos a estar el jueves en el #EncuentroMirmwcológicoGEHN con Adrian Richter 🐜🤩❤️ 🇲🇽 18:00 🇨🇴 19:00 🇧🇷🇦🇷 21:00 Te esperamos!!!

Closing after a great European Ant course! Learned lots of taxonomy! Priscila Hanisch 🐜🇦🇷🇩🇪💚 LinaMa 🐜 Eduarda 🐜 Michele Bertoncini @AbelBernadou and more!

Te presentamos a la Dra. Jill Oberski, Ph.D. 🐜 que nos acompañará mañana en el #EncuentroMirmecológicoGEHN y con quién vamos aprender sobre las hormigas Dorymyrmex 🐜❤️ Te esperamos!!!!

How is this not trending right now??? These are images of newly discovered trilobite fossils preserved in fine pyroclastic ash at the Lemdad Valley of Morocco! They are never-before-seen details on the soft tissues normally not preserved in trilobites.

Brain, guts, and circulatory system of a Cambrian arthropod larva! The most amazingly preserved fossil I have ever seen. doi.org/10.1038/s41586… Lucky to have been a part of this project led by Martin Smith and Emma Long. Martin R Smith Durham Earth Science Durham University

What is the #ant Temnothorax unifasciatus? Great phenotypic variation, wide distribution range, and very interesting intraspecific patterns connected to glacial refugia - and some taxonomic misunderstandings Researchgate: tinyurl.com/5bfxs5d6 doi.org/10.1111/zsc.12…

New research article!📰 Khalife et al. studied intercastes in A. rugulosa, finding unique intermediate forms between workers and queens, which sheds light on the evolution of ant division of labor.🐜 doi.org/10.1007/s00040… #Insectessociaux #Socialinsects #Intercastes #Ergatoid

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

So, we tested this idea with a comprehensive comparative analysis, combining genomic and neuroanatomical data from a range of Hymenoptera, including from the 🧠of a 100-million-year-old ant fossil. 🐜🦴🤯 Shout out to Brendon Boudinot, Adrian Richter and team's work on the fossil

Der CEO der Techniker Krankenkasse über Jens Spahn. Das ist eigentlich ein veritabler Skandal. Kein Wunder wieso die Beiträge so stark ansteigen.
