Podczas wiosennych porządków w hodowli pszczół @ioes-ju.bsky.social w domku dla murarki ogrodowej znaleźliśmy… ptasie gniazdo! 🪹 Budki dla owadów mogą być domem nie tylko dla dzikich 🐝, ale też dla 🐞🕷️🪲, a nawet 🐦. Przyroda naprawdę nie lubi pustki. #DzikiePszczoły #PtasieGniazdo

Our paper is now out in its final form in @natcomms.nature.com ! We show that ancient insect symbionts can undergo extreme, convergent genome reduction to as little as ~50 kb - driven by ecological shifts and symbiont replacement. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... More below 👇 1/

Alaa Hseiky, Edyta T. Sadowska and Paweł Koteja (@ioes-ju.bsky.social) explore the effects of short-term consumption of a Western diet on aerobic exercise performance in bank voles with inherently distinct metabolic rates. 📖

What’s the catch of the day? | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... A commentary to the Science paper whose first author is Prof. Jan Kozłowski from our institute. Evolutionary adaptation to global change reduces sustainable fisheries yields.

Huge congratulations! Prof. Kozłowski's work in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

JOB alert! We are seeking candidates for the position of Research Assistant within the project “Understanding pesticide-Pollinator interactions to support EU Environmental Risk Assessment and policy”. Link and details below.

Congratulations Junchen Deng! Fantastic PhD defence! Congratulation also to the supervisor form our Institute @sympiotr.bsky.social

Tropical Ecology Field Course :)

For almost 20 years, the Jagiellonian University has been organising a tropical ecology field course for its students. We started in Venezuela and now the courses take place alternately in Borneo and Costa Rica.

A new paper by our team @ioes-ju.bsky.social just published in J Invert Pathol @jinvertpathol.bsky.social! In Diptera-#Entomophthora system, we show how simultaneously #sequencing #insect, #fungal #pathogen, and bacterial marker genes can aid biodiversity and biological interaction discovery.

It's been a busy summer for our scientists. Several of them attended the #ESEB2025 conference in Barcelona.

Anna Maria Łabęcka, together with numerous European freshwater bivalve researchers, has developed a comprehensive atlas of freshwater bivalve distribution in the Western Palearctic! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Krystian Budzik studiował Biologię - PERSPEKTYWicznY kierunek! Krystian właśnie obronił pracę licencjacką pt. “Identification, ontogenetic and tissue expression profile of Toll-like receptors (TLR) in the Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl)”

The "Mayday, plastic threat!" project implemented by the Socio-Environmental Research Team is coming to an end, so below we present you the latest posters produced as part of the project.

🧵1/7 🐝🌱 #PollinatorWeek continues! Today we’re heading to @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social  @ioes-ju.bsky.social , where @michalfilipiak.bsky.social  & @filipiakzuza.bsky.social  are looking at bees through a different lens — not just pollination, but nutrient cycling. ♻️🌍 #PollinatorsWeaveConnections

The very first paper from my lab in Krakow is now available here: DOI: 10.3791/68207 Yes, it is a protocol, BUT it is also a GREAT protocol! Congrats to the first author @navinafrancis.bsky.social! Stay tuned, an update on the clones is coming soon!
