Dr. Anne Duplouy

I am hiring! Come and join us in Helsinki to work with #Bumblebees and their #microbiota! #Symbiosis jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-P… Deadline is early next year!

NEW PAPER! What explains associations with defensive symbionts? In @Ecology_Letters we show symbiont occurrences align with sharing the same parasitoids, but not plants, highlighting enemies as key selective agents shaping symbioses in nature🦠 doi.org/10.1111/ele.70…

And to end our 2024 seminar series, @Linyang_Sun presented preliminary results from his systematic review investigating environmental and host-associated factors shaping bee bacterial communities 🐝

Join us at #ESEB2025 to discuss and learn about the latest research on 'evolutionary ecology of microbial symbiosis' - Symposium 22. We have two exciting invited speakers @HenryLabSymbio & #MarjoleinBruijning and we can not wait to welcome you all in Barcelona!

An important piece from 30 women including @PSUmBiome @PennStateBio faculty @momedinamunoz. They make it clear why we must support and celebrate diversity. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

What a cool paper! 🤩 Using @inaturalist observations, @eco_mayer & Co. found that there are more melanistic snakes in colder regions than in warmer ones AND that melanistic snakes are more abundant with ⬆️ avian predator density 🐍🐦 Have look at it here: doi.org/10.1111/jbi.15…
