This paper simulates polarisation vision in honeybees and bumblebees using real sky images to evaluate how DRA anatomy affects navigational accuracy with two models of sun position estimation.

The paper investigates whether honeybees use landscape memory from exploratory flights to estimate distance in their waggle dances, finding that landmark knowledge overrides optic flow in distance estimation.

The paper tracks honeybee colony activity over time and shows that mechanical interactions transfer circadian information, leading to synchronized collective behavior.

The paper investigates how ephaptic coupling between olfactory receptor neurons in fruit flies responds to the timing of odorant arrival, showing that asynchronous odorant arrival reduces ephaptic inhibition, supporting its role in odor source discrimination.

The paper investigates olfactory coding in the American cockroach, showing stimulus-specific, concentration-dependent responses and spatial structure preservation in odorant detection.
