There are still some people picking up our story on wingless Acromyrmex queens. First of all, Mischa Dijkstra wrote a nice little highlight in his blog. Then an article has been printed on the Science pages of the newspaper Darmstädter Echo (German). And further there is a bunch of articles in all kinds of languages, possibly triggered by the story being published by the European Commission’s CORDIS service in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and German.
