🇮🇹🇧🇪Postdoc at @KU_Leuven, coffee addicted ☕️ Interested in evolution of sociality 🐝🐜 I work with bees, ants and wasps
Lovanio, Belgio
Joined May 2019
Two years ago I was doing fieldwork working with this amazing model system, my Twitter post went viral! Today, the paper on nest architecture in Scaptotrigona depilis is out in @CurrentBiology! You can download the full paper here
Amazing #comb shape! My fieldwork in Brazil is ongoing, still two months left to collect data on Scaptotrigona nest architecture. Wish me good luck 🤞🏻🇧🇷 #fieldwork #stinglessbee #research #phdlife

I am incredibly happy that our paper on nest architecture in stingless bees published in @CurrentBiology got some attention! Here, a very nice article written by @TheEconomist
Termites raise skyscraping nests; honeybees fashion mesmerisingly geometric combs. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bee 🐝

"Stijlvast : Angelloze bij volgt bestaand bouwplan": nieuw artikel van @WillyvanStrien over onze nieuwe Current Biology studie die variatie in nestarchitectuur liet zien bij een angelloze bij, en aantoonde dat deze variatie gedragsmatig werd overgeërfd.
