New research article! 📰
@damsgergonne.bsky.social et al. studied cryptic Macrotermes diversity in Namibia using DNA revealing new genetic lineages and big taxonomic gaps. 🧬

🪩New article out!
It's been over 60 years since the last study of Macrotermes diversity in this country! We analyzed over 170 samples for this article, which I hope is the first in a series to understand their diversity. I'm happy! 🧬

I presented my poster at the #ESEB2025 !
📢 Call for entomologists🐝 We are looking for Vespula germanica from Europe to further our understanding of the invasion dynamics of the species. Please get in touch!

Great time at the #IUSSI french section talking about invasivness and social complexity! 🐜🐝🦟
Thanks for organizing this!

J’aurai l’immense honneur de présenter une conférence sur le rôle de la complexité sociale 🐝et de la structure génétique 🧬 dans le succès invasif de l’espèce Vespula germanica. 😀

🤩Excited to share my latest article, last one of my thesis, in an @entsocamerica.bsky.social journal!
We explored soil-feeding Embiratermes termites' evolution using genetic data and propose a biogeographic scenario. 🌎🧬

Evolutionary history of soil-feeding Neotropical termites reveals recent divergences linked to geologic-climatic influences
Abstract. The Neotropics harbor a diverse array of flora and fauna shaped by a complex geological and climatic history. It includes marine invasions, pulse
