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...
Really excited to see this great work published! It was an honor and unforgettable experience to be part of this joint effort in @scottvedwards.bsky.social lab!
I am excited to share our new paper on anchovy retina connectomics! This was a great collaboration with Prof. Heß at LMU Munich and an incredible opportunity to explore neural circuitry in a unique visual system.

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.

Background Block-face scanning electron microscopy has opened a new era of connectomics research, in which it is possible to make dense reconstructions of all cells in a clipping of a neuronal network...
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...
Very proud of this new paper from the lab! Work by the magnificent Andrea Adden and many brilliant collaborators illuminate how moth and butterfly brains have evolved in light of different ecologies. Freely available here: rdcu.be/eVR3B; @lundvision.bsky.social @biologylu.bsky.social
