Ant mandible cuticle varies in its mechanical properties and shows heterogeneity in transition metal accumulation, with consequences to stress distribution. Thanks @Heethoff, Wencke Krings, Stas Gorb and Jörg Hammel for this incredible collaboration.

Now published in a food processing special issue at Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, @EvanEconomo and my review of ant feeding structure and function. Open access! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
Great science, great team, great place.
Thanks to funding by @FWF_at we will put worm snails in the limelight of evodevo and omics research! 2 fully funded PhD positions being announced soon. Feel free to spread the word and send inquiries directly to me if interested. 🐌🪱
New paper about ant mandible biomchanics from the PhD thesis of @KlunkCristian.

Variation in cuticle material properties can have important consequences for the mechanical responses of mandibles to bite loading in an ant species.

Nerdy moment as I realized I was looking at the @DinardaE DISC3D #photogrammetry rig at @mfnberlin 🐜🐝🐞

So, it's not only the "poor man's tropical rainforest", but actually THE biodiversity-hotspot.. I'm repeating myself, but: Let's dig in the dirt! ;-)
In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil.

New ant biomechanics paper, led by @KlunkCristian and @ale_cferreira. We use FEA to test if ants at the edge of morphospace are under particular biomechanical constraints. #ants #biomechanics #FEA
