So great to see this paper on nestmate discrimination in termites with @beckyfbpadget and @CantMichael out in @Ecol_Evol #OA. See Becky’s thread here 👇👇👇 and read the paper doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9901
New paper in @Ecol_Evol with @FayeJThompson and @CantMichael!
We tested whether termites discriminate between outgroups based on diet and found that they don't appear to, suggesting that diet might not be a useful recognition cue in this context 🐜 doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9901.

Read our new paper out in @NatureEcoEvo today: rdcu.be/cWmMX .
In it we combine modelling, and data from 7 long term mammal datasets to investigate patterns of kinship dynamics – predictable age-linked changes in local relatedness.
Some thread below.
