If you have a sequence that you love – a gene family, transposable element, regulatory feature – you probably spend a lot of time looking for it in different sets of sequence. If so, you might find our latest tool, Klumpy, useful. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Invasive plants evolve over time in introduced habitats, with most traits diverging but not consistently in one direction, except for growth which increases with residence time. 🌱 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio… #invasivespecies

‘Despair’: Argentinian researchers protest as president begins dismantling science nature.com/articles/d4158…

Ant mandible cuticle varies in its mechanical properties and shows heterogeneity in transition metal accumulation, with consequences to stress distribution. Thanks Michael Heethoff 📯 @[email protected], Wencke Krings, Stas Gorb and Jörg Hammel for this incredible collaboration. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

The paper is published online in Current Biology today: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New Ant Lab video out today, guest narrated by Joe Pera!!!!

AdriFS Hola muchas gracias por la sugerencia, pero prefiero dejarlo así. Busco estudiantes Argentinos para hacer un estudio en Argentina. Es sin remuneración (cómo suelen ser las tesis de licenciatura).

We just started a search for a postdoc to join my lab group to study honey bee microbes through some collaborative/interdisciplinary projects. We will review applications through Aug 19. Full ad here: igb.illinois.edu/sites/default/…

I just published a bunch of cool stuff on globular springtails! Read about it and watch them here: news.ncsu.edu/2024/08/this-t…
