Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint! 🐜🧠🥳 We explore how age, social context, and neuromodulatory systems shape temporal polyethism in harvester ants. If you’re at #IUSSI2026, stop by Carlos Zavaleta’s poster on Wednesday to hear more! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Anatomical mapping and regulation of dopaminergic and octopaminergic neurons during temporal polyethism in the red harvester ant
Many social insects, such as ants, change their behavior stereotypically from nursing to foraging as they age, a concept known as temporal polyethism. Biogenic amines are associated with these specifi...

🎉New paper out from the lab, led by @baptistepiqueret.bsky.social: ant larvae chemically suppress the reproduction of their caregivers. bit.ly/4t8uZLG An example of how social interactions are regulated at the molecular level. The work was made possible by the unique environment @mpi-ce.bsky.social

Thrilled to share the first full paper from @AntLabUNAM! 🐜💥 Our paper examines how queen and worker harvester ants differ in ovarian morphology and gene expression, shedding light on the ovary as a hub for multiple physiological systems, not just reproduction. Check it out! rdcu.be/ePNP8

Can You Actually Delay Menopause?
It's a controversial proposition, but scientists are trying to slow the aging of ovaries.
