So pleased to see this paper published - the fieldwork was beset by Covid disruptions and restrictions, but we found out some fascinating things about the beautiful but elusive Shining Guest Ants. Project funded by @futurewoodlands.bsky.social
New research in #RESEcolEnt gives insights into the population genetics of an extreme habitat specialist, the wood ant commensal Formicoxenus nitidulus 🐜

Did you know about these tiny shiny ants (red arrow) living with wood ants (blue arrow)? They are Shining Guest Ants (Formicoxenus) and we have recently discovered that a wood ant nest can be home to several genetically distinct colonies of these 'guests'! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... 1/5

Glensaugh is a @hutton.ac.uk research farm experimenting with agroforestry, muirburn, peat restoration, hydrogen cells & more.

How we work with land is an invaluable piece of the climate puzzle, I’m thrilled to see this work in our region. Thanks to @jennistockan.bsky.social for showing us around.
