A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species

‘Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother
Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

Ok, I made a new starter pack: Science Job Accounts! I want to try & collect together account that are likely to post jobs/internships/employment opportunities in science. It is heavily US/Ecology based (and would probably be better as a feed). Please suggest other accounts!! go.bsky.app/QPGnfWu

Great paper from @tomerczaczkes.bsky.social, Federico-Javier Olivera-Rodriguez, and @curiousant.bsky.social! Individual ants modulate pheromone trail reinforcement w.r.t distance of the food source from the nest, but do not modulate compete against outdated trail.
Ants (Lasius niger) deposit more pheromone close to food sources and further from the nest but do not attempt to update erroneous pheromone trails - Insectes Sociaux
Many social insects use pheromone trails to recruit workers to resources. Pheromone trails have some limitations, however. Two major limitations are that they evaporate over time, meaning that more di...

At least in my experience, science discussions are increasingly becoming more transactional than conversational (Especially post-pandemic period). What do you think about this?
