The paper identifies conserved head direction circuits in bees, ants, and flies, showing stability over 300 million years with evolvable synaptic differences.

This paper describes a method to track animal movements in 3D space using photogrammetric habitat models reconstructed from dynamic video footage.

The paper compares brain region volumes across castes in two ant species to show how sensory demands shape neural architecture.

This study examines how temperature affects flight performance in two stingless bee species and how their geographic ranges influence their thermal performance curves.

This study compares the visual physiology of two Australian stingless bee species, finding differences in contrast sensitivity but not spatial resolution.

This study examines sexual dimorphism in jump kinematics of Peacock spiders, finding similar accelerations but differences in take-off duration, angle, and g-force between males and females.

This study shows nocturnal bull ants use polarized moonlight for navigation during the night, similar to how they use solar polarized light during the day.

The paper describes a new sensory organ in praying mantises that detects plant volatiles, supporting their leaf-planking life strategy.
