Recently, JEB broadened its scope to include research that is non-hypothesis driven. In his new Perspective, @tubuleguy discusses why he thinks this is wonderful news as novel insights can sometimes come from idea-led experiments journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

🐝✨ How do #insects like #bees, #ants, and #wasps decide who does what in their colonies? It’s in their #genes! @BPyenson @sanrehan cover how gene networks and epigenetic factors drive insect social organization. #InsectWorld #Genomics ow.ly/pPO050SxvwG

Think the phenotype-o-mat would be useful for your lab? Let us know! We’re considering hosting a workshop if that would be beneficial for the community. 👇 bit.ly/phenotype-o-mat

The Canes brought out the cooperalls and headbands for Whalers night 🔥 (🎥: @CanesOnBally)
3 areas are worthy of more investigation: 1) effects of social contexts on gene expression; 2) gene knockdown/knockouts to identify the role of specific genes in a social phenotype; 3) location in individuals (tissue, cell) of transcriptomic differences.
We then summarize the trends from species whose transcriptomes are available, finding that some theory has support across multiple lineages and also species with different levels of social complexity within the same lineage.
Want to know which insect should be the focus of your next transcriptomic study? @sanrehan and I summarize insect sociogenomic trends for you. Open-access and freely available! It's not just bees. 🐝🪲🐜. 🧵below cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
