Happy to announce that Nomthi Khanyile defended her PhD thesis on 'Ecological implications of tyrosine-supplementing symbiosis in grain pest beetles' - supervised in the Insect Symbiosis Lab (Martin Kaltenpoth) (co-supervisors: Tobias Engl Nicole van Dam Enric Frago) - successfully! Congratulations Nomthi!🎓🎉

Why are there so many beetle species? And what can their symbionts tell us about how they adapt and diversify?

Loved chatting with Lesley Evans Ogden and Hassan Salem about our work for Knowable Magazine. Come for the beetles, stay for their wonderful symbioses. 🪲🦠🍄knowablemagazine.org/content/articl…
