Within the frame of the DFG research unit FOR2281 (“Sociality and the reversal of the fecundity-longevity trade-off”), the project OE549/2-2 aims to understand why Cardiocondyla obscurior ant queens exhibit no or only a very brief senescent phase, and why queens actually die. So far, we have produced exciting results, but need more time to finish other project objectives. This is mainly because the PI was ill for the large part of 2020, the critical third year of the funding period; I therefore ask for an extension of the project to bring these tasks to completion.

在 DFG 研究单位 FOR2281（“社会性和繁殖力与寿命权衡的逆转”）的框架内，项目 OE549/2-2 旨在了解为什么 Cardiocondyla obscurio 蚁后没有或只表现出非常短暂的衰老阶段，以及为什么蚁后实际上会死亡。到目前为止，我们已经取得了令人兴奋的成果，但需要更多时间来完成其他项目目标。这主要是因为2020年是资助期关键的第三年，PI大部分时间都在生病；因此，我要求延长该项目以完成这些任务。
