Thanks for the wonderful #ISCE2024 International Society of Chemical Ecology meeting in Prague. Thanks for inviting me as a plenary speaker and for all the fantastic talks in our symposium 'Beyond Eusocial Organisms'.

Great to see this out: an updated review on burying beetles!! Big thanks to Ahva Potticary and Allen Moore

Erich could present our DFG GEvol project on the #ice2024kyoto.

Thanks to Dino McMahon, Julius Rombach, @JHeckenhauer, @bornberglab our GEvol project was perfectly represented at the #ice2024kyoto.

🎉Congrats to @insect_microbe for receiving a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) starting grant on animal-microbe interactions! uni-bayreuth.de/pressemitteilu…. And good for us — he's joining EAE Sandra Steiger Universität Bayreuth. New PhD opportunities will be advertised in the near future #buryingbeetles

#DZG2024 KomBioTa Great meeting and a fantastic opportunity for @eric_Grub, Janka Plate, Paul Huber, Maximilian Körner, Jacky Sahm, Julius Rombach to present their work on #buryingbeetles and #parasitoidwasps EAE-Team @Steigerlab Johannes Stökl

Our new paper on the effects of diapause on bark beetle phenology just got published in Ecological Entomology. We show the interplay of temperature and photoperiod and how climate change prolongs the repoductive season of Ips typographus. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

This is a sweet burying beetle larva. Each instar smells different, and mothers respond to the scent during feeding. Congrats to Jacky Sahm on publishing the third chapter of her PhD thesis: The scent of offspring Behavioral Ecology #buryingbeetles academic.oup.com/beheco/article…

🇬🇧Carrion Beetles (Silphidae) Carrion beetles play an incredibly important role in the ecosystem. These fascinating insects ensure that dead animals are naturally broken down. They are nature’s “recycling experts” and help maintain the balance in the cycle of life. Though often

First day of our Annual Gevol Meeting in Frankfurt. We started with a philosophical talk about function and innovation by Ulrich Krohs and closed the day by a talk about caddisflies by @JHeckenhauer. Meeting all the friends and collegues feels a bit like a class trip.

2nd day Gevol meeting started with a great talk by Kristen Panfilio, we had a student meeting during our lunch break and a cool tour through the collection. Last but not least: typical Frankfurt dinner with Apfelwein.

3rd day of our Gevol Meeting with great talks by our invited speaker @GenomeHecker and Eyal Privman. Our students gave really amazing talks about their projects as well. Thanks to the Senckenberg Research for welcoming our Gevol Family this year.

Hundreds of ant species farm fungi today, and studies of ant evolution suggest the adaptation goes back tens of millions of years. Now, researchers have pinpointed a date for the origins of the partnership and suggest a surprising catalyst. bit.ly/3zSkRQH

#ISBE2024 coming to an end. What a great conference it was. Really enjoyed the opportunity, presenting my PhD work in front of amazing people. Met lots of cool people, had great discussions and made great friends. Together with Eric representing Sandra Steiger in Australia #ISBE2024

Pleased to share our latest publication in which we show that HDAC3 is involved in the maintenance of queen characteristics is Cryptotermes secundus #socialinscetcts #termites onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

We also found a decrease in the worker specific CHCs in the HDAC3 silenced neotenic queens.
