Our planet is positively teeming with “little things that run the world”-invertebrates. Yet, it has been a challenge to see the big picture of how invertebrate diversity is distributed around the globe. Happy to share that, finally, we have a detailed view for one group: ants.

Got CT data? Want to estimate and visualize muscle architecture (volume, fiber number, pennation angles, etc.) for comparative morphology / biomechanics? See the comparisons and workflows by @Jules_For_Fools out in @iobopen. Works for verts and inverts.

I’m stoked to advertise my first first-author PhD paper in 🧵 about the estimation of muscle architecture from CT data comparing various methods. Pavel Puchenkov, Heiko Stark, @EvanEconomo and I present workflows that worked for ant and bird muscle. doi.org/10.1093/iob/ob…

Our new study on the evolution of trap-jaw ants is out in @PLOSBiology. Here's a thread about what we found. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Bittersweet to share our new paper in Frontiers of Zoology on how the loss of flight allowed for changes to the internal design of the ant thorax. The study was led by Christian Peeters (@bullant56), who passed away last month. frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Very sad day! Our friend & colleague Christian Peeters @bullant56 passed away I will miss his passionate, enthusiastic, extremely honest, sometimes thickheaded, but always charming way of being! The last picture he sent me. Happy pulling ants from a trunk to send me.
