The only thing I really expect from academia is to have fun. 🎉
This paper is pure fun: it started with a BBQ brainstorming, turned into a project with friends, and ended with a super-talented friend making the cover photo. What a combo! 🔥📚📸

Here’s a second, ridiculous litter monster ant (Myrmoteras sp.) from leaf litter samples in a secondary forest in Borneo, this time a much better photo. It has eyes which look like they might cry any time soon…
Front view of an orange/brown ant. It has large “angry” eyes like that of a wasp on its triangular head and slender, toothed mandibles. It has long antennae spread sideways. It has a thorax shaped like a stubby spoon (with the head being the front part) and a short bulbous abdomen.

Cool paper by @cocomacro.bsky.social et al. showing the diverse diversification history of hymenoptera in the fossil record!

Figure 2 from Jouault et al. in Current Biology. The figure consists of 4 x 3 graphs in which each row shows the diversification (origination, extinction, net diversification, and diversity) history of a group of hymenoptera. Emphasis is put on the effect that the rise of angiosperms and the KPg mass extinction event have had on the complex histories of hymenoptera, showing sharp increases in diversity after the K/Pg
