When I interviewed at #WCU, I was inspired by the Biology corridor filled with students’ published papers. I dreamed of seeing one of my own students there one day.
Today it happened with 2 papers!🌟 Proud of Lily Kelleher—the first of many from the #RamalhoLab! #ProudPI #PUI 🐜

A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.
The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.
