I’m really proud to share that our paper on the diversity of social complexity in termites has been published!!!

Our study is out in nature! This was a big piece of work compiling data on global conservation actions. Headline? 58% of the world's threatened species are seemingly neglected by conservation efforts... Durham University Princeton School of Public & International Affairs Princeton University Yale BGC nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out this sweet termite socialite paper!!

Interested in #pollinators #pollination #foodsecurity #biomechnics then apply for our exciting PhD position James Hutton Institute University of Strathclyde findaphd.com/phds/project/b…

We've achieved #HFCGold 🎉! A big thanks to everyone that helped with our @hogfriendly campaign. We've established new collaborations with local primary schools, community groups & hedgehog rescues. We'll keep looking out for our 🦔🦔 & promoting biodiversity across our estate.

Come see my talk today at #ICE2024Kyoto to hear all about metabolic rate variation in over 120 sp. of ants across climate and environment gradients and amongst the major clades of ants! Thanks François Brassard for beaut photos and our wonderful collaborators! 11:15am Room C-2

Our review on the dual role of ants as ecosystem engineers and providers of ecosystem services was published yesterday! doi.org/10.25849/myrme… Together with it, you can read a short interview I gave to the Myrmecological News blog about the article: blog.myrmecologicalnews.org/2024/09/24/ant…

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 Interested in how the microclimate mediates the coexistence of species rich insect communities? Us too! Come and work Cardiff University School of Biosciences with me, Andrew Davies, charlene and Rebecca Senior (rebeccasenior.bsky.social) on our HFSP funded project. Full advert: bit.ly/CardiffAntJob

Well, here's an unmissable opportunity! Exciting science with delightful people in beautiful Cardiff, and field work in South Africa! #postdoc

Exciting postdoc opportunity to work in the Tom Rhys Bishop lab on ants, microclimate and mountains! krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…. Deadline 27th October.

Exciting postdoc opportunity in ecological entomology, combining cutting-edge tech and field data to test ecological theories of species coexistence! Field work in South Africa, collab across Cardiff, Cape Town, Harvard and Durham Universities. Apply!

Amazing opportunity with a fabulous team. #highlyrecommended

#Postdoc position Lund University Interested in how forests across the world are changing? Join us working with scientists from tropics to boreal to tie together obs of tree growth and mortality from field plots using forest modelling ForestPlots European Research Council (ERC) Deadline 5th Nov

🚨ANOTHER JOB ALERT!🚨 Love insect physiology and how it links to species coexistence in wild places? Come and work with me, charlene, Rebecca Senior (rebeccasenior.bsky.social) and Andrew Davies at UCT! 🐜🐜🐜❄️🔥 This is our second ant-facing postdoc funded by HFSP. Please share and apply!

Another ant ecology postdoc! This time focused on physiology, combined with cutting-edge tech and field data to test ecological theories of species coexistence. Based at UCT with fieldwork in the Cederberg, and collab across Cape Town, Cardiff, Harvard and Durham Universities

📣TWO POSTDOCS!📣 To all the insect/microclimate/coexistence/ecology folks out there: we (me, charlene, Rebecca Senior (rebeccasenior.bsky.social), Andrew Davies) have two postdocs advertised right now! Check out the adverts attached. Deadline for the Cardiff position is this Sunday! 🐜🔥❄️💧☀️⛰️

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

I'll be giving a talk on #ants and a new, VERY cool way to study how they cope with temperature! Come see me talk at British Ecological Society in Liverpool on December 12th 💥🐜
