Faithful transmission of beneficial symbionts is critical for the persistence of mutualisms. But how do mothers balance investment against the risk of symbiont loss? We are super proud to see the group’s latest published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, led by Dr. Inès Pons. Congratulations, Inès!
National Geographic feature on host-microbe symbioses
How do microbes influence animal behaviour and physiology? Pleased to see our work, together with the labs of Ruth Ley and Thomas Bosch, highlighted in the latest print edition of National Geographic!
Thesis defense: Noa Breitenbach
Congratulations to Noa on defending her thesis on beetle-fungal symbioses! An excellent excuse for the lab to come together around pizza, cake and sect: a winning trifecta!
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
The lab took its inaugural research trip to Panama back in November! We had a blast sciencing up and down the isthmus with Donald Windsor of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
