This paper introduces Braid, an open-source software for low-latency 3D tracking of insects using multiple cameras, achieving sub-millimeter accuracy in a controlled environment.

This paper uses drone-based tracking to reveal precise, individualized flight paths of honey bees, showing they use unique strategies and landmarks for navigation.

Real rummy-nose tetras follow a projected, anamorphically rendered virtual conspecific in a low-cost open-source 3D-tracked VR bowl, largely matching its speed and depth; a moving sphere elicits weak following.

The paper investigates how perturbing specific neurons in Drosophila affects alignment with linearly polarized light, finding contradictory effects on behavior.

The paper shows that Drosophila can return to a reward location using path integration despite potential pheromonal cues.

This paper presents an improved RT-LAMP assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection that is rapid, sensitive, and suitable for both laboratory and home testing.

This study shows that mosquito attraction to specific hues is influenced by odor, with CO2 enhancing preference for orange and red wavelengths associated with human skin.

The paper shows non-heritable variation in neural circuit development causes individual differences in behavior using Drosophila.

The paper develops a model to predict object orienting behaviors in tethered flies and finds it aligns with experimental results on turning responses and object tracking.
