Ant mandible cuticle varies in its mechanical properties and shows heterogeneity in transition metal accumulation, with consequences to stress distribution. Thanks @Heethoff, Wencke Krings, Stas Gorb and Jörg Hammel for this incredible collaboration. royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Vielen Dank für die klaren und notwendigen Worte.
Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.

Great science, great team, great place.
Thanks to funding by @FWF_at we will put worm snails in the limelight of evodevo and omics research! 2 fully funded PhD positions being announced soon. Feel free to spread the word and send inquiries directly to me if interested. 🐌🪱

Check also out @SWV_GmbH for further developments on #DISC3D
Nerdy moment as I realized I was looking at the @DinardaE DISC3D #photogrammetry rig at @mfnberlin 🐜🐝🐞 🦋 One of their output 3D models "Melitaea britomartis" viewed in AR via @Sketchfab 🔗 skfb.ly/6RrG6 More of their scans: sketchfab.com/disc3d #glam3D

So, it's not only the "poor man's tropical rainforest", but actually THE biodiversity-hotspot.. I'm repeating myself, but: Let's dig in the dirt! ;-)
In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… @MAnthony02; @SFranzBender1; @uzh_en; @Agroscope; @WSL_research
