Fungal infection alters collective nutritional intake of ant colonies

This study shows that fungal infection in ants changes their dietary choices to support immune responses, even though the diet is harmful in the long term.

Modeling bee movement shows how a perceptual masking effect can influence flower discovery, foraging efficiency and pollination

This paper models bee movement to show that flower discovery and pollination efficiency are influenced by perceptual masking from nearby flowers, challenging assumptions about foraging behavior.

A taste for numbers: Caenorhabditis elegans foraging follows a low-dimensional rule of thumb

This study shows that Caenorhabditis elegans foraging behavior follows a one-dimensional rule based on food density, ignoring other environmental factors.

The Motor Wisdom of the Crowd

The paper demonstrates the Wisdom of the Crowd phenomenon in motor control by showing that aggregated trajectories from multiple individuals are more accurate than individual ones, even outperforming older, more skilled participants.

Inversion of pheromone preference optimizes foraging in C. elegans

This study shows that C. elegans invert their pheromone preference based on when they leave a food patch, optimizing foraging efficiency through associative learning.

Attraction to pheromones in Caenorhabditis elegans can be reversed through associative learning

This study shows that Caenorhabditis elegans can reverse attraction to ascaroside pheromones through associative learning involving food deprivation.

Asymmetric migration decreases stability but increases resilience in a heterogeneous metacommunity

Asymmetric migration decreases stability but increases resilience in experimental yeast metacommunities.

Histone H4 acetylation regulates behavioral inter-individual variability in zebrafish

This study shows that histone H4 acetylation, particularly H4K12, influences behavioral variability in zebrafish by modulating gene expression through YY1 and HDAC1 complexes.
