TWO PhDs in my lab at Cardiff Uni being advertised!
Co-supervision from @DrLucyAlford
1. Physiological Entomology: bit.ly/PhysioAntsPhD / bit.ly/PhysioAntsApply.
2. Ecological Entomology: bit.ly/MountAntsPhD.
Get in touch for more details! 😀🐜⛰️🔬❄️🔥
ALT Advert for a PhD project in physiological entomology. Please go to www.bit.ly/PhysioAntsPhD for more info, and www.bit.ly/PhysioAntsApply to apply!
ALT Advert for a PhD project in ecological entomology. Please go to www.bit.ly/MountAntsPhD for more info and application details.
This is going to be a really cool project! Thermal tolerance, hoverflies, nutrition, pollination. Lots to love!
Please apply!

Timing is everything in the evolution of ponerine ants! Happy to see this paper out. Great work by Maël Doré et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

How do non-native species fit into foodwebs? Our new paper in Ecology shows that native generalists (Scolopendra centipedes and Telfair's skinks) partition their diets with superabundant non-native ants, but also consume them!

I'll be giving a talk on #ants and a new, VERY cool way to study how they cope with temperature! Come see me talk at @BritishEcolSoc in Liverpool on December 12th 💥🐜

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵
📣TWO POSTDOCS!📣
To all the insect/microclimate/coexistence/ecology folks out there: we (me, @cjanion, @RebeccaASenior, @andrewbdavies) have two postdocs advertised right now!
Check out the adverts attached.
Deadline for the Cardiff position is this Sunday!

Another ant ecology postdoc! This time focused on physiology, combined with cutting-edge tech and field data to test ecological theories of species coexistence. Based at UCT with fieldwork in the Cederberg, and collab across Cape Town, Cardiff, Harvard and Durham Universities
🚨ANOTHER JOB ALERT!🚨
Love insect physiology and how it links to species coexistence in wild places? Come and work with me, @cjanion, @RebeccaASenior and @andrewbdavies at @UCT_news! 🐜🐜🐜❄️🔥
This is our second ant-facing postdoc funded by @HFSP.
Please share and apply!

Our review on the dual role of ants as ecosystem engineers and providers of ecosystem services was published yesterday!

Together with it, you can read a short interview I gave to the Myrmecological News blog about the article:
