I'm really happy that this paper is finally out. We combined experimental and theoretical data to study how helper behaviour may have facilitated the onset of eusociality. Check it out in the thread!! 🐝
Very happy to see our new study on the evolution of eusociality come out in Evolution Letters! Our study is the first to experimentally manipulate the proportion of females that stay and help to simulate incipient sociality & assess fitness impact of helping. 🧵

Had an absolute blast sharing our research on juvenile hormone & caste fate conflict in the Argentine ant at this year's NW IUSSI @iussi-nwes.bsky.social
Always an amazing chance to talk science with some of the best minds in the field 🐜⚔️🐜

#Ants hold a grudge – they remember who attacked them and fight back harder against those enemy colonies! Our new paper led by Melanie Bey is now published @currentbiology.bsky.social

I asked ChatGPT to create a LEGO scene based on what it knows about me. Love the results! I wish my lab were this cool, though 🙃
