We studied the genomics of social polymorphism in ants. We identified a "social chromosome" associated with colony structure in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. This chromosome is homologous to the social chromosome of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.

Megajournals like @SciReports, @PLOSONE and @IJERPH_MDPI threaten scientific progress, benefiting only publishers and their shareholders. We need non-profit institutions to lead scientific publishing! #OpenScience #NonProfitPublishing ☢️

Extremregen nimmt durch die #Erderwärmung weltweit zu, und Klimaforscher haben seit über 30 Jahren davor gewarnt, weil wir die Physik dahinter verstehen.

"Author finds another’s name on an Elsevier book chapter she wrote" Interesting and warrisome to see this.
Pay more attention to any legal clauses for future reuse by the publisher. The editor should have known better too #AcademicWriting

Now out OA and in its final version @CurrentBiology: Pheromone representation in the ant antennal lobe changes with age. Lead by @teraxurato, with crucial assistance from @lindselopes and @Dom_Frank3 @RockefellerUniv.
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
How ants respond to pheromones changes with age, an important aspect of their division of labor. In a new preprint from the lab @RockefellerUniv, @teraxurato, @lindselopes and @Dom_Frank3 show that, as the behavior changes, so does the representation of pheromones in the brain.

Soil invertebrates such as #springtails and #oribatid #mites may be able to decompose dead plant material.🍃 🍂
Researchers from @LOEWE_TBG, @Senckenberg, @goetheuni identified cellulase #genes in some invertebrates that help the digestion of cellulose.

Ant sex!🐜🧬 @miya_qpan's first ant paper marks the beginning of her journey into the mysteries of haplodiploidy in ants. I am ready to be surprised by what comes next!
🤩Excited to share our new paper in @ScienceAdvances 🐜 ! We describe a new molecular mechanism underlying complementary sex determination in the Argentine ant 🐜, involving a long non-coding RNA that we named ANTSR :) 🐜
