The So-Long Homepage renewed

The So-Long Homepage have been moved to a new platform based on a MediaWiki design
(February 2020)

Phil Trans R Soc B: Special Issue on Ageing and Sociality
A special issue on aging and sociality has been approved by the editorial board of Phil Trans R Soc B, editors: Judith Korb, Jürgen Heinze
(November 2019)

Start of transcriptome sequencing phase II
Transcriptome sequencing of phase II has started (sequencing platform: Illumina HiSeq X Ten)
(May 2019)

Phase II of our SO-LONG Research Unit has officially started!
(October 2018)

Phase II PhD students have been selected.
PhD students will work on the following projects:

- Comparative analysis of molecular mechanisms of ageing in flies and social insects

- Defying senescence – The causes of death and the costs of living of ant queens

- A comparative approach to the fecundity/longevity trade-off across two origins of eusociality in the bees

- Functional basis of the fecundity /- longevity reversal in the ant 'Temnothorax rugatulus'

- Uncovering the functional basis of the reversal of the fecundity/longevity trade-off in a termite

- Reversal of the fecundity / longevity trade-off across social transitions in ants

- Why and how does sociality change the fecundity / longevity trade-off in termites?

Start of PhD positions are anticipated in October 2018, Kick-off Meeting Phase II: from the 3- 5 September 2018.
