The USDA and @Smithsonian produced a comprehensive family tree of ants, bees & wasps. Research revealed that evolution was driven by a return to plant feeding & other features like stingers played less of a role. Specimens used from @NMNH insect collection, some over 100 yrs old!

ALT The announcement for the color session as part of the "Workshop for Ukraine" initiative, happening on Thursday, January 26th from 5 to 7pm CET (Berlin, Paris, Rome). The background image shows a gradient from blue to yelllow (top-bottom) and dark to light (left-right) as a 50x30 grid with heart icons inside each cell. The color shades and the visualization has been fully created with R and ggplot2.

#Cicada killer wasp in nest-building action! Female wasps will dig about a 10 inch tunnel with a cavity at the end large enough for 2-3 cicadas.

La siguiente especie registrada durante #BioBlitz Yopal es una avispa social (Polybia emaciata), muy importante en los ecosistemas neotropicales por ser depredadoras naturales que ayuda a regular las poblaciones de varias plagas a nivel agrícola. #BiodiverCiudades

Happy to share our preprint on the steps in the evolution of a butterfly supergene. Thanks to both @PhDetails and @Kang_Wook_Kim for major contributions. We used a trio approach to assemble all three known alleles of a warning colour supergene. doi.org/10.1101/2021.12.06.4…

I’m excited to share our pre-print on insect repetitive elements (REs) in the era of biodiversity genomics. Led by @John_S_Sproul, we kicked things off by using 600+ insect genomes to make this figure...

We (@qhelleu, @KellerLab_Ants, @RSocPublishing) reviewed what is known about the ‘social supergenes’ - phenotypes, genomic structures, fascinating & unresolved evolutionary dynamics (royalsocietypublishing.org/d…) 2/
