PhD student in Kaltenpoth Lab at MPI-CE. Insect Symbiosis. Evolutionary Ecology 🖤. 🇿🇦🇩🇪. She/her
In honour of International Women's Day, the British Ecological Society's Methods Blog is highlighting "Women in Ecology". Here, I talk about my journey in ecology and share how I think we can "Accelerate Action" in ecology and move towards gender equality.

Protections and Interactions in the Beewolf Nursery
by Tobias Engl — Beewolves, their larvae, and their Streptomyces symbionts not only use multiple, largely different classes of chemical compounds to protect themselves against detrimental microbial co...

How do animals compensate for trait loss?
In beetles, symbiosis is a consistent strategy. Where the repeated loss of endogenous digestive enzymes is offset by functionally convergent symbioses: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Currently in Liverpool for the annual meeting of the British Ecological Society. Super excited to meet everyone and to listen to some amazing science! I’ll be talking beetle symbiosis on Thursday at 11:30 (Species Interactions, hall 3B).

Do you work in ecology/evolution? Did you do a study that is too small to publish as a full manuscript? Negative results? Part of a larger effort? Consider publishing in microPublication Biology: EEB!
www.micropublication.org/journals/bio...
Short papers, one figure. And we peer review! Please RT

What can we learn from timing the onset of symbiosis? And how does symbiont acquisition & molecular evolution impact host adaptation & diversification?
We ask these questions of leaf beetles, led by Marleny Lozano & out today in CurrentBiology!

Insects integrate their endosymbionts during embryo/oogenesis, or acquire them extracellularly after hatching.
But in tortoise beetles, these lines are blurred. Super happy to share our latest, co-led by Miguel Porras & Inès Pons, out today in ISME Communications!
