A new study in ants from @danielkronauer.bsky.social reveals a previously unknown mechanism that ensures that each olfactory neuron expresses only one odorant receptor, with broad implications for the study of gene regulation. #RockefellerScience https://bit.ly/4pwPFLY

The final version of our paper on how ants and possibly other insects use a crazy mechanism involving extensive transcriptional interference to regulate odorant receptor expression is now open access in my favorite journal, @currentbiology.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

This year's last plenary talk of the #dzg2025 was from @silkesachse.bsky.social. Her research focuses on the neuroethology of olfactory coding in insects. From flies to locusts.

Traplining-behavior requires extensive spatial memory which is linked to Mushroom Body expansion in the brain of Heliconius 🦋. @maxfarnworth.bsky.social from @ebablab.bsky.social lab talks about the neural lineages that may underly this anatomical expansion. #dzg2025

José Borrero from Richard Merrill's lab studies how the visual acuity changes with age in different species of Heliconius butterflies and how it is related to brain morphology and neurogenesis. #dzg2025 @borreroja.bsky.social @dickmerrill.bsky.social

Paula Zimmermann from Michael Hofreiter's lab talks at the #dzg2025 about gene loss associated with loss of vision in Malagasy mole-like tenrecs. @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social

Chiara Tenneriello, PhD student of @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social talked today about her research on testing whether desert ants have a particle-based magentic compass. #dzg2025 @chiaratenne.bsky.social

Ant reproduction is getting weirder and weirder. Here’s the latest: queens of a Mediterranean harvester ant mate with males from a different species and then lay eggs that clonally inherit those males’ genome. I.e., they lay eggs that develop into a different species. 🤯
