Early discount registration and abstract submission for the XI European Congress of Entomology will close on 28 February 2018. The congress will have a session specifically dedicated to social insects named « SOCIAL INSECTS AND APIDOLOGY », which will have three themes: Social immunity – Keynote: Line Vej Ugelvig Bees: management, ecosystem services, and products: Keynote: Christina […]
The Gibson lab in the Department of Biology at Georgia Southern University (GSU) is looking for a MS student in insect evolutionary genetics to begin Fall 2018. The research focus of the lab is on the genetic/genomic basis of traits in Hymenopteran insects, particularly metabolic and mitochondrial physiology. Current projects/systems in the lab include (1) […]
Les fourmis, qui produisent naturellement des substances capables de détruire des germes, telles des bactéries ou des champignons, représentent une source potentielle de nouveaux médicaments pour traiter les infections humaines, soulignent des chercheurs. Face « à l’augmentation des agents pathogènes résistants aux antibiotiques qui infectent environ deux millions de personnes chaque année aux États-Unis », la recherche […]

Genetic components to division of labor in ant societies Application deadline: January 20th, 2018 Behavioral division of labor in ant societies stems from workers differing in their likelihood and efficiency to perform specific tasks (e.g., foraging for food or nursing the brood). However, many factors and mechanisms regulating such differences remain to be identified and […]
One or two PhD positions are available to study fire ant social biology in the laboratory of John Wang at the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan) beginning in the Fall of 2018. Our lab uses the invasive pest species, the red imported fire ant, to study social biology and sex determination and their […]
