Goodbye @uniulm.bsky.social, hello @inrae-dpt-spe.bsky.social. Just started my new position as research scientist on insect immunity @inrae-dgimi.bsky.social in Montpellier, and looking forward to start new exciting projects. 🐛🦋 #HelloESR

An analysis of insect genomes suggests that the lineages Ephemeroptera and Odonata form a single evolutionary group with a Late Devonian origin, known as Palaeoptera. The study clarifies the evolutionary origins of flying insects. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/cC9G50ZZ1sH

Detecting pathogens in insects in one thing, but understanding if microbes lead to disase and impact on host populations is what we need. 🧪 Read our review on bees and pathogens, and what we should do after detecting pathogen spillover: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Fantastic time at the first @ukvf.bsky.social with the moth-virome team. Thanks to Matt and Laura for organising a great meeting.

🦗 New paper in Animal Behaviour. In European earwigs, females isolated too early were less likely to lay eggs, took longer to lay them, produced smaller clutches, and were more likely to fail completely. Such costs could help maintain prolonged social living. 📄 authors.elsevier.com/a/1nqcjmjMDuJ5

Insect research has used Drosophila as a model organism for over a century. But today’s tools now open up a much wider spectrum of insects which deserve to be studied. See the recent commentary in @fly-journal.bsky.social by @peterkdearden.bsky.social, ‘Why just fly?’ doi.org/10.1080/1933...
