Great day for the #MoreauLab! Postdoc Tatsuya Inagaki @tatsuyainagaki.bsky.social gave the EEB seminar and we hosted a pre-seminar social insect themed coffee!

Grape termites with almond sliver legs and edible eyes!

Thrilled to share that @corriemoreau.bsky.social and I have a new paper out in Evolution, digging into the varied ways that extreme worker plasticity impacts genome evolution in turtle ants! Paper 📃: doi.org/10.1093/evol... Image 📸: Steven Wang, tinyurl.com/2rbjbyjh

I'm looking for a graduate student (either PhD or master's) to join my lab starting Jan 2026. If you know any students in social behavior and evolution (and termites!), please let them know!

Hi all! I just joined bluesky and want to introduce myself. I am Tatsuya Inagaki, a postdoc at Moreau Lab, Cornell University. I am working with termites and gut microbiota, especially focusing on relationships between each microbe and termites!

My focal termite species, Zootermopsis nevadensis.

Can't imagine a better first post over here than sharing that our new paper, led by amazing undergraduate Mahalia Donaldson and with @corriemoreau.bsky.social, is out now in Annals of the @entsocamerica.bsky.social! Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/aesa...

Abstract. Aggression is an essential component of survival and fitness, although the expression of aggression behaviors can also carry fitness costs. As a
