Individual variation in #sociability is a central feature of every society, including #HoneyBees. This study shows that specific genetic variants & #brain gene expression patterns are linked to variation in the social act of sharing liquids (trophallaxis) in bees @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3VjjXnJ

Fantastic piece (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...) by @tlinksvayer.bsky.social on @arthurmatte.bsky.social and my recent paper in PNAS (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...). He really pulls together the threads of how we believe that socially transferred materials #socialfluids entrenched social complexity in ants. 1/2

I am over the moon that my HFSP proposal w/ @joriskoene.bsky.social @stynoski.bsky.social @socialtransfernet.bsky.social has been funded!
If you've heard my wild ravings on #socialfluids, commonalities across them and where this could lead, you see where we're going ❤️ Thank you @hfspo.bsky.social!

There are plenty of animals that do coprophagy, where yes, totally #socialfluids but for dung beetles they are scavenging from another species so more on the symbiosis continuum
