"Since ants first emerged some 160 million to 140 million years ago near the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, various face textures have appeared, disappeared and sometimes reappeared. The multiple origins got the researchers wondering if the patterns could be of use to the insects instead of just random biological happenstance." #EntSoc23 #entomology #insects #ants https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ant-face-patterns-practical-value
New on Entomology Today: Meet Hannah Levenson, Ph.D., community ecologist and postdoctoral researcher at North Carolina State University, whose work in integrated pest and pollinator management—informed by her early career path that explored design, marine biology, and more—earned her a spot in the Early Career Professional Recognition Symposium at #EntSoc23.

Craig BrabantI thoroughly enjoyed the ECN/ESA meetings this year in National Harbor.
Is it too soon to be thinking about #ECN2024? 😀
Becky SmithIf you're at #entsoc23 and want to hear me try to pull together all our work on tick-borne disease in Illinois in 10 minutes, stop by National Harbor 2 at 4:30
