Switching perspective: Comparing ground-level and bird's-eye views for bumblebees navigating dense environments

This study shows bumblebees primarily use ground-level views, not birds-eye views, to navigate dense environments, challenging existing snapshot-homing models.

Random attention can explain apparent object choice behavior in free-walking blowflies

The paper shows that random attention can explain object choice behavior in blowflies without requiring an explicit decision mechanism.

Gap perception in bumblebees

This study investigates how bumblebees perceive and navigate gaps in cluttered environments by analyzing their flight behavior in response to varying gap properties.

Taking a semi-local dynamic snapshot as a possibility for local homing in initially naive bumblebees

This study examines the first outbound flight of naive bumblebees, identifying loop-like flight patterns that may aid in learning nest location information.
