@nadiah looking forward to your toots. I work in social insects #bees#ants#termites#wasps#aphids, where of course the evolution of cooperation is a core topic.
@clementkent That's fantastic, I'm glad to meet you! I've been hoping I'd find lots of evolution-of-cooperation people to follow on here.
I unfortunately haven't had a chance to look deeply into insect eusociality. The furthest I got was once, a long time ago, and aborted project on termites. I wrote a blog post about what I learnt here: https://nadiah.org/2016/03/23/termite-eusociality/
@nadiah Hope we'll talk more. Insects provide interesting evolutionary test cases, because of the multiple independent origins of #eusocial lifestyles. I don't work on the theory of this, more on the consequences for #insect#genomes.
