Incredible insect-light display last night at lake Konstanz!!

Enjoyed watching the #mason #bees that moved into the little bee house on our balcony feast from our rhododendron. The way they wedge themselves into the flowers 😄 They might also have found some little extra sugary surprises - it was Easter after all 🐰🌸🐝

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 🌸🐝🧠
Visiting the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart for our science-art collaboration with the Akademie and @zukunftskolleg.bsky.social Konstanz. Excited to see the final student projects inspired by vision in insects after this field trip!
New paper from the lab, led by @ronjabigge.bsky.social, in collaboration with Kentaro Arikawa. We reconcile contrast and spatial processing functions of lamina monopolar cells by integrating 3D morphology, connectivity and neurophysiology in the hummingbird hawkmoth. tinyurl.com/mvnh3325

Do bright lights change how you dance? 🔆💃
Waggle-dancing honeybees interpret bright UV & green as the sun, but dim UV as a patch of sky.
Thanks Keram Pfeiffer @uni-wuerzburg.de for trusting me with your data & @jgraving.bsky.social for the circular GLMM.

Special issue editors @anna-stoeckl.bsky.social, Basil el Jundi & Kentaro Arikawa introduce their special issue on the neuroethology of lepidoptera 🦋. The issue covers a broad field of research spanning from neuroanatomy, sensory perception to behavior. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
@gkolyfetis.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de presenting his work on bee navigation at the annual meeting of the Beekeepers of Baden in Radolfzell 🍯🐝. Thank you for the invitation! Great to see the public interest in science and find out what we can learn from each other. 👁️🧭

Excited to share my first PhD preprint! w/ Sören Kannegieser and @anna-stoeckl.bsky.social @insect-vision.bsky.social
We investigated how hawkmoths coordinate lateralized sensory and motor control for appendage guidance, revealing similar control principles to vertebrates doi.org/10.64898/202...
Foraging honeybees rely on a celestial compass to navigate to and from the hive, using the sun’s position as an orientation reference. When the sun is hidden from view,bees can determine its azi...
