How much for shipping to Europe?

record 17,058 Marie Curie proposals in 2025 vs. 10,360 in 2024!!! the reason is pretty obvious, but wow that is a huge jump marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...

Preview of my talk today at 12 in the ecology section #dzg2025 on invasive Tapinoma ants In the pic you see a new way of visualising networks of ant colonies in ecological space

On my way to Berlin #dzg2025

Liebe #IchBinHanna Community, 1 Frage: Wie viele Professuren werden in D in Eurem Bereich pro Jahr ausgeschrieben, auf die Ihr Euch bewerben könnt(et)? Laut #BuWiK2025 ist nur jede 21. Bewerbung erfolgreich (s. S. 183) & mich interessiert, wie oft es in Eurem Fach (gern nennen) diese 'Chance' gibt!

Many thanks to all GEvol members for a truly wonderful annual meeting. It was really great to catch up with you all again.

New preprint from our lab: When #ants habituate to non-nestmate odour, their odorant receptor profile changes predictably. Could this be a mechanism for pre-filtering cues in nestmate #recognition? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#CEIUSSI25 day three: Plenary by Olli Loukola

#ceiussi25 is off to a good start: Magdalena Witek gives a plenary talk on Myrmica parasites

#ThrowbackThursday: In 1980 the 🌍🌎🌏 was declared #smallpox free, thanks to mass vaccination efforts. Smallpox was an acute contagious disease caused by the variola virus. It was one of the most devastating diseases known to humanity. #VaccinesWork

The Central European IUSSI meeting is on its way - first plenary by Eva Schultner #ceiussi25

Almost there @ceiussi.bsky.social #ceiussi25

Happy #WorldAntDay! Ants are the little things that run the world. How little you ask? Here is an old photo of two ants from the same patch of Costa Rican rainforest. Left: a tiny Solenopsis. It is straddling a piece of heavy paper. Right: the foot of Paraponera. Her sting packs a wallop.

Das Haus brennt! Sollen wir es löschen? Es könnte länger dauern! Es könnte schiefgehen! Man könnte noch andere Sachen machen, damit das Feuer sich nicht weiter ausbreitet! Den Brandstiftern wird es gar nicht gefallen, dass wir es löschen! Also machen wir besser nix & hoffen, es geht von alleine aus?

👋 Looking forward to the 117th Annual Meeting of the German Zoological Society. Please like and share 🤩

Ant people: Any idea what's going on here @alexwild @futurebird #ants #insects https://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/272593469

Le site pour le colloque 2025 de l'Union Internationale pour l'Etude des Insectes Sociaux est en ligne : iussi-sf-2025.sciencesconf.org Au plaisir de vous retrouver à Condorcet du 18 au 20 juin !! 😃

"from 1965 to 2020, nearly half the variation in publication trends among 293 North American male passerine & near-passerine birds was explained by 3 factors subject to human bias: aesthetic salience (visual appeal), range size (familiarity) & number of universities within ranges (accessibility)"

Last chance to submit a symposium proposal is tomorrow!

Happy Valentine' Day;) Leaf-cutting #ants and a rose

Wenn Ameisen schon mal mit Konkurrentinnen aus einem anderen Nest in Streit geraten sind, reagieren sie bei der nächsten Begegnung umso aggressiver. Offenbar lernen sie aus ihren Erfahrungen.

Dear colleagues fascinated by olfaction and taste! 👃🏾👅 We’ll organize the next ESITO (Symposium of Insect Taste and Olfaction) from September 19-24 2025 in Sardinia at the beautiful Hotel Cormoran again. We are currently updating the website and will start the registration soon! Please stay tuned!

This one's pretty cool youtu.be/1a6P0_v83YA?...

📣🚨Extension of deadlines: Behaviour 2025! 📣🚨 Last date for abstract submissions for #Behaviour2025 has been extended to 31st of January 2025🕰️. Early bird registration ends on 28th of February 2025. Don't miss your chance to share your expertise on a global platform. Hurry and submit your abstracts!

The call for symposia for the 2026 international IUSSI conference is open! We're looking for ideas for exciting symposia for the IUSSI conference next year. Please submit your proposal by the end of March! iussi2026.org/wp-content/u...

Never a dull moment! Ants can hold a grudge. A team led by evolutionary biologist Volker Nehring is investigating the extent to which ants learn from past experiences. (Thanks to Dall-e for the AI generated picture) uni-freiburg.de/en/e...

Ants hold a grudge: Associative learning of non-nestmate cues improves enemy recognition https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.19.572127v1

#Ameisen erinnern sich an ihre Feinde www.geo.de/natur/tierwe...

Im Leben eines Insektenvolkes ist vieles vorbestimmt. Da erstaunt eine Studie, die zeigt: Ameisen merken sich, mit wem sie Ärger hatten. Sie lernen also aus Erfahrung.

#Ants hold a grudge – they remember who attacked them and fight back harder against those enemy colonies! Our new paper led by Melanie Bey is now published @currentbiology.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi #ChemicalEcologists, Just created a starter package for networking people in our field 😆 Please let me know if people need to be added! go.bsky.app/KzwBnhN

This is a neat list, thanks for putting it together! I'd be honored if you'd add me.

We're delighted to host North-western Europe's premier meeting on ants, bees, wasps and termites on December 16th at QMUL. 🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜 Registration closes on the 8th: bit.ly/2024-iussi-q... Supported by QM's Centre for Biodiversity & Sustainability: bit.ly/QMUL-Biodive...

Hello World! I'm a scientist interested in the causes and consequences of behavioural variation, from olfactory perception to the evolution of sociality. Our group mostly studies ants, but also less interesting arthropods;)

Inspired by @hleisthen.bsky.social and @denizhanpak.bsky.social I've put together a starter pack for neuroethology (broadly defined). Follow these people if you're interested in learning about the mechanisms underlying animal behaviour. Suggestions welcome! go.bsky.app/T5JTFzE
