⚠️I saw an ancient ant⚠️ @hanrisk.bsky.social's epic field and lab survival study of ants! We found worker lifespans varied 23-394 days and were predicted by body size but not phylogeny🐜 Congrats Hannah on the 1st PhD chapter out!

Our new paper is officially out in Proceedings B! 🐜 It’s the first chapter from my PhD thesis, where we combined field mark-recapture with lab survival assays. Huge thank you and congrats to my co-authors, Kirk Stodola, Lily Leahy, Ian J. Wright, and Heloise Gibb. doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

I submitted my PhD thesis on my work on ant ecological strategies and investment yesterday. What a journey with such incredible highs and lows. I was so lucky to be surrounded by so much support and cool science. So excited for whatever is next🐜
