To help make connections between the science of myrmecology and what’s happening in our world, we’ve started a regular column in a local arts and culture magazine.

Join us for a week of exciting and transdisciplinary events about ant behaviors and neuroscience, and how art can offer a medium to connect with the queer ecologies of ant and human communities, decolonize myrmecology, and promote a vision for practice, study, and creation free of binary worldviews.

Biology and Secondary Education major Mirielle Kingsley just awarded grant to study metabolic rates!

Ants, flies, summer research, SICB conference, and new respirometry setups!

In this lab, we believe that science is real, love is love, Black Lives Matter, feminism is for everyone, trans rights are human rights, ants and flies are cool, and everyone is welcome here.

Simple macro lenses can help mobile phone cameras capture insects in stunning detail.

Even in quarantine, the smaller majority is all around to keep us company.

Cities power evolutionary divergence by accelerating metabolic rate and locomotor performance.

With funding from the NSF EPSCOR program and in collaboration with colleagues across the country, we’re embarking on a 4-year mission to investigate epigenetic mechanisms of thermal adaptation in Drosophila
