Exciting news! We're thrilled to welcome @FrancescaProtti as a post-doc in our lab! 🎉 Our amphibian team is expanding as she will investigate poison frog alkaloids' dietary sources. A special thanks for the great Oophaga granulifera picture. Welcome aboard, Chesca! 🐸 @MPI_CE

Our lab is thrilled to welcome two new PhD students!
Fortesa Rama will focus on disentangling a multipartite symbiosis in leafhoppers and Sreyashi Mandal will experimentally investigate the evolution of intracellular symbiosis in beetles.
Join us in welcoming them @MPI_CE!

Our group's histology wizard, Benjamin Weiss, published his book on techniques of insect histology, with detailed protocols and lots of valuable information on how to do histology properly and get good results. Fantastic work, Benni!

Our latest paper on grain best beetle symbioses is out in @molecology - not on nutritional symbionts, but reproductive manipulation by Wolbachia in O.surinamensis which seemed to have changed its phenotype during adaptation to grain storages. Team with @jstkiefer @TCSEngl et al🥳

Ever heard of 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘢, the reproductive manipulator? In our newest #researchpaper we describe its role in the sawtoothed grain beetle. @TCSEngl @Kaltenpoth_Lab @molecology #Wolbachia
