Will be at #Ento25 next week in #Glasgow!
I will give a talk on some overlooked #pollinators (based on results we got @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social)
Will also be there as EIC of #Systematic_Entomology @royentsoc.bsky.social; do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the journal!

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.

If, as it is commonly thought, you only see weevils as pest species, it is time to change your mind! Have a look at Benjamin’s poster at #eseb2025 tonight!
He will introduce you to the unexpected diversity of very cute weevils involved in the pollination of tropical trees! 🌴🌙

Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter):
Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.
