DESCRIPTION:How social and symbiotic behaviors evolve in the Metazoa is poo
 rly understood at the cellular and molecular levels. Rove beetles (Staphyl
 inidae) comprise the most species-rich animal family\, and form a remarkab
 le clade in which numerous independent lineages have evolved from solitary
 \, free-living organisms into highly social species capable of behaviorall
 y assimilating into ant colonies. The repeated evolution of this way of li
 fe involves dramatic changes in behavior\, anatomy and chemical communicat
 ion\, and constitutes a unique\, convergent system for studying social and
  symbiotic evolution. In this talk\, I will discuss my laboratory’s curren
 t efforts to harness the genetic and experimental tractability of rove bee
 tles to illuminate molecular and neurobiological phenomena underlying phen
 otypic evolution in this clade of organisms.\n\nThis seminar will be given
  online via Zoom. Details in attached poster.\n
