Next talk, we start with primates! Liran Samuni is gonna talk about cooperation across social borders in bonobos. #Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira Ricardo Caliari Oliveira

Last talk on primates! Roman Wittig will talk about outgroup conflict causing in-group cooperation in chimpanzees 🐒#Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira Ricardo Caliari Oliveira

Graham Birch is talking about cooperative breeding in mongoose! #Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira Ricardo Caliari Oliveira

Let’s move to insects! @LindstedtCarita will explore the costly cooperative antpredator defence in social haplodiploid pine sawfly #Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira Ricardo Caliari Oliveira

We are almost at the end of this great symposium! Prof Elva Robinson is talking about the evolution of intergroup cooperation 🐜 #Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira Ricardo Caliari Oliveira

We are at the end! Last talk is held by Ricardo Caliari Oliveira, chair of this symposium! Are you curious about the tragedy of the commons in stingless bees? Come to listen to his talk then 🐝 #Behaviour2023 Helena M. Ferreira

Introducing Costasiella kuroshimae affectionately named the leaf sheep. This little dude not only crazes but can photosynthesise itself

Excited to share my latest article on Evolution Letters and one of the chapters of my PhD thesis!

Why do some stingless bees produce so many wannabe queens? 🐝 doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in Evolution Letters by Helena M. Ferreira, Denise Alves, Lloyd Cool, Cintia Oi, Ricardo Caliari Oliveira, and Tom Wenseleers now @twenseleers.bsky.social.

Bumblebees are learning complex tasks from each other, like opening secret boxes!  This bee-haviour is changing what we know about insect intelligence. Dr Dr Alice Bridges and Prof Lars Chittka explain their discovery in this video. #Bees #SocialLearning youtube.com/watch?v=jg3U8S…

"Stijlvast : Angelloze bij volgt bestaand bouwplan": nieuw artikel van @WillyvanStrien over onze nieuwe Current Biology studie die variatie in nestarchitectuur liet zien bij een angelloze bij, en aantoonde dat deze variatie gedragsmatig werd overgeërfd. blog.willyvanstrien.nl/2024/04/09/sti…

Please find attached the programme of the PhD course Frontiers in Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity Conservation - KU Leuven, for which me, Raf Aerts⚡️ & Joachim Mergeay have put together three great symposia with a fantastic lineup of speakers. 🧵

These tiny-brained creatures are capable of building according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations, evolutionary biologists have found econ.st/4aR4Ash 🐝

Stingless bees can transmit different building traditions across generations without individuals needing to be instructed by their peers. This has left observers of animal culture abuzz econ.st/4aI4CCK 🐝

As técnicas e estilos arquitetônicos dos ninhos de abelhas sociais são fascinantes e, inclusive, já foram motivo de uma postagem nossa aqui. Mas um mistério sempre intrigou pesquisadores. Segue o fio! 🧶 1/

Last Sunday, we had a blast at Day of Science! Truly amazing to see kids (and parents) having fun with Biology. We made bee hotels, gave some info and got them acquainted with some common social insects DagvandeWetenschap Biology | KU Leuven Fac Wetenschappen FWO Tom Wenseleers now @twenseleers.bsky.social
