For some organisms in the natural world, mass deception is a way of life, and evolution has transformed them into virtuoso manipulators. In this lecture, Parker will discuss his work on rove beetles—arch tricksters, capable of assimilating into ant colonies to exploit their social hosts undetected.
This presentation is a Biedebach Memorial Lecture.
