Testing the reality gap with kilobots performing two ant-inspired foraging behaviours

This study compares tandem running and lone scout foraging in kilobots, finding that tandem pairs are faster in real-life experiments but not in simulations, highlighting the reality gap.

Learning performance and GABAergic pathway link to deformed wing virus in the mushroom bodies of naturally infected honey bees

This study finds that naturally infected honey bees with higher DWV loads show improved reversal learning, linked to increased GABAergic gene expression in mushroom bodies.
