A reminder:,
Biology Thursday seminar continues in zoom (link below) on the 28th of August, at 12:15,
with Dr. Lukas Schrader, Institute for Evolution & Biodiversity, Univ. Münster, on "Adaptive radiation and genome evolution of ants"
Ants are among the world's most successful lineages of animals. Over the last 150 MY of evolution, they became dominant parts of terrestrial ecosystems and diversified into over 15,000 extant species in 340 genera. In 2017, we initiated the Global Ant Genomics Alliance (GAGA) to generate large comparative genomic, transcriptomic, phenotypic and life history data to address fundamental questions about the evolution of the ants. The analyses of more than 130 high-quality genomes that I will present here have allowed unprecedented insights into the genetic underpinning of ant social traits, their adaptive radiation, and their genome evolutionary history.
