We had such a great time exploring #Tunisia #ant biodiversity in collaboration with our Tunisian colleagues! 🇹🇳 Tunisian Association for Wildlife More to come 😊

Again encountering and reporting new/spreading #alien #ant species established in #Italy, some with a worrying invasive potential. This time about #Brachyponera chinensis and #Nylanderia vividula. Researchgate: tinyurl.com/sm5bn9cb

His family survived the Holocaust. He founded Human Rights Watch. He directed the ACLU. Now he’s saying Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Excellent CNN interview:

📕 Alien ants spreading through Europe! 🐜🌍 Lake Como's stunning scenery is now home to two invasive ant species: the Asian needle ant and the Nylander's crazy ant. Discover the study led by Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE). 🧵 #ConservingBiodiversity #InvasiveSpecies 👉doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12…

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…

Introducing 3D-printed oak galls as artificial nests for arboreal #ants, with first results on leaf damage reduction on #olive trees Out on Myrmecological News Researchgate: tinyurl.com/5cyzs8k7

This time it's not about ants... but a journey into the world of other impressive #insects, their behavior, and evolution! 🪲 The European stag beetle has long fascinated entomologists but still holds surprises!💫 Researchgate: tinyurl.com/yr4tr98u Out on Scientific Reports

🐜 As more and more non-native ants establish in our region, it is important to assess their different threat levels. We tried to do so using the Terrestrial species invasiveness screening kit (TAS-ISK). Read it on Researchgate: tinyurl.com/uxkyrjnm Out on Insects MDPI

How do #Brazilian 🇧🇷 and #Italian 🇮🇹 #ant assemblages🐜compare when it comes to their morphological response to #deforestation and #agriculture? Find it on Researchgate: tinyurl.com/yp773z6z And on Insects MDPI

Thrilled to receive the #MSCA grant with the AntTRAILS project!🐜 I will explore the genomic legacy of human transitions in Mediterranean ants across history at Bonnie Blaimer's lab (Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery) and with Pablo Librado (Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE)). Lots of ants and fun ahead! Now at🦋site!

-Apartheid states aren’t democracies -Genocide is not urban warfare -Ethnic cleansing is not a real-estate plan -Mass slaughter of children is not self-defense -Occupation and annexation are illegal -Forcibly displacing people is a war crime Words matter. The truth matters.
