Arthropod Photo of the Week: August 17, 2022 Stingless bee Scaptotrigona sp. Hymenoptera: Apidae Cali, Colombia By Francisco López-Machado (Francisco López-Machado) #arthropodPOTW

We're at #ESEB2022 hearing Alexei Maklakov telling us about challenges and emerging theories in the evolution of ageing 👀

Check out the 1st papers from our bumblebee museum project. One studying wing asymmetry (proxy of stress) over the 20th century: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… The other showcasing genome sequencing of specimens dating back to 19th century: doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Wanna know how one can use "Old-age-genes" as ageing markers in termites? Veronika Rau will tell you all about it today at #ESEB2022! Step in symposium 34 at 16:45 😌✨

Mornin’ folks. We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on. Please retweet so more are more informed. Thanks good people. #bees 1/16

Utrecht University Utrecht University in the Netherlands has withdrawn itself from the World University ranking World University Rankings provided by Times Higher Education. As this has generated quite some reactions - praise, questions, some doubts, I want to provide some context. Hence a thread 🧵1/16
