It was such a pleasure catching up with Qiaz Hua 🐙. She was the 1st RA to join me in 2017 & helped build our lab from ground up. She is now Dr. Hua, doing her postdoctoral work in France. SO proud of her & wishing her the very best.

Our student-led research is out on Behavioural Processes authors.elsevier.com/c/1jK9X1LenMYU… Dung flies under #predation became smaller over generations but male #courtshipdisplays persist #experimentalevolution

Made a day trip to Malaysia with the lab just to eat lots of durian at a farm, walk around the old town & then eat more local delights again. Not a bad way to prepare for the start of a new semester 🤷🏾‍♀️ #reprolanus

Enjoyed meeting with visiting students from Mahidol University in Thailand. We talked about insect bioconversion as a solution to nutrient recovery from food waste. Felt inspired by all their questions and their passion for sustainability. Organised by NUS_CAPT #reprolabnus

International Congress of Entomology in Kyoto with ~4000 participants. Happy to be part of insect enthusiasts from Singapore. For those at #ICE2024Kyoto, do check out these student talks on insect reproduction & ecology.International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP

Do come and say hi and listen to the exciting #TEELab Asian School Of The Environment research International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP #ICE2024Kyoto #ICE2024 #Entomology #dungbeetles #deadwoodbeetles #butterflies #insectpests

Interested in incipient speciation or just sexy flies? Do drop by the poster I’ll be sharing on behalf of Mrinalini Walter who couldn’t be here in Japan #ICE2024 #ice2024kyoto.

We had a great experience at #ice2024kyoto. Extra proud of our #reprolabnus students who presented their work confidently at such a large event. Loved talking science, reconnecting with old friends & making new ones. Insects for the win 🫶🏾International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP

Thanks International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP #ICE2024 for a fantastic conference. So great to be surrounded by so many #entomologists, & to showcase the work of Singapore entomologists from #TEELab Asian School Of The Environment #ReproLab NUS & Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum 🇸🇬 🪲🐝🦋🐜

Our study led by Huiqing, featuring undergraduate work: Wing geomorphometrics can help resolve cryptic mosquito species (including vectors) that occur sympatrically in Singapore. These genetically distinct species were also validated with DNA barcodes sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Took a mid semester break by going on a 3 hour trail with the lab. Calories were lost… and immediately gained with post-hike food binge 🤷🏾‍♀️#reprolabnus

Had the pleasure to host John Fitzpatrick from Stockholm University last week as seminar speaker. Plus we had a blast trekking through Singapore’s central catchment nature reserve to recce field sites. #halfbeak

Study led by Sean Yap & Toh KaiXin - Resource availability & parental provisioning influences male reproductive traits in tropical Onthophagus #dungbeetles. What began as an undergrad project morphed into a full sib experiment 💪🏾#reprolabnus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our study, led by Shakthee Silvaraju, shows temporal variation in the gut #microbiome of genetically distinct black soldier flies. GxE interactions across ten different diets highlight lineage-specific core microbial taxa in #bsf #reprolabnus doi.org/10.1186/s42523…

Done with lectures! Despite the chaos, I had fun thanks to students who were really engaged; Asking questions & showing interest that extended beyond what was needed for grades 🫶🏾 Let’s hope next semester goes well too NUS Shout out to co-pilot Maxine Mowe

Very happy to share the news that our study on the genomics of sexual selection is now published with NatureEcoEvo! In collaboration with CRE (Center for Reproductive Evolution) and led by Zeeshan. Come for the comparative phylogenetics of 149 fly species and stay for the GWAS. doi.org/10.1038/s41559…

It was #EvolutionDay yesterday and our research was featured by NUS. From dung beetles to mosquitoes, we investigate insect reproduction to study diversification and seek sustainable solutions. #reprolabnus news.nus.edu.sg/decoding-the-s…

Teaching & mentoring are both important aspects of science. 2025 seems to have started off well so far: A teaching excellence award from NUS, fantastic thesis defense of Xin Rui as well as a fun lab dinner with #Reprolabnus. Let’s hope for more good events to come💪🏾

Fecundity ≠ Fertility | Using diverse diets, our latest study led by Z Qihui, shows how larval nutrition & growth influences adult reproductive outcomes in black soldier flies #BSF #reprolabnus mdpi.com/3163356 #mdpiinsects via Insects MDPI
