Dancing with the stars?
No! Bees dance with the sun, but only if it is made of bright UV or green light 🐝🌞🕺
New research by @jjfosterlab.bsky.social 👇👇
Visual Insect Neuroethology Group
Work conducted with Johannes Spaethe at Würzburg University, the bee-witchers of bumblebees Selma Hutzenthaler, Alexander Dietz, and Karl Gehrig, and statistic wizard @jjfosterlab.bsky.social. Big thanks to everyone for the great collaboration, and to everyone who supported this study!!
New paper out on the decision strategies of bumblebees. When using visual cues to make flower choices, they switch strategy with sensory context, learning as much as necessary, but as little as possible. Based on their training time, we propose a mechanism for this switch. tinyurl.com/2r9d4jrs 🌸🐝🧠
