How do you recognize who’s who when you live mostly in the dark? 👂👃✋ Our review explores how naked mole-rats use sound, smell, and touch to maintain their remarkable social organization! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @garyrlewin.bsky.social, Firdevs Murad, Wenhan Luo, Alison Barker

Drosophila santomea males frequently court other males due to specific changes in their pheromone signals and how these cues are interpreted. By rewiring chemical communication, this species shows how social signals can drive striking shifts in mating behaviour www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A fly that courts everyone 🪰. Male Drosophila santomea woo both males and females alike, driven by evolved pheromone changes and brain processing that flipped attraction and aggression. Evolution is wild! Recent work from Joe Ouadah: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to introduce our naked mole-rats from @garyrlewin.bsky.social to the chemical ecology course @mpi-ce.bsky.social for the first time — bringing some serious subterranean chemistry to the surface! Registration is open; more info: events.gwdg.de/event/1003/

Honored to present my work on naked mole rats from @garyrlewin.bsky.social at the @modolfor.bsky.social symposium (@silkesachse.bsky.social) during the Göttingen Neuroscience Meeting #NWG @neurowissg.bsky.social —and finally getting the famous and amazing Drosophila from @katrinvogt.bsky.social!!
