FloBuzz is an automated system for aversive conditioning in bees, showing voltage-dependent avoidance behavior through electric shocks.

This study shows that specific light wavelengths affect honey bee locomotor activity, with green light increasing and UV light decreasing it, especially when combined with blue light.

This study compares the gustatory responses of honey bee castes to sucrose and royal jelly using the proboscis extension response assay, revealing caste-specific nutritional preferences.

The paper introduces Api-TRACE, a system for tracking honey bees in learning assays, and shows lithium reduces reversal learning performance but not acquisition.

This study examines how lithium affects honey bee locomotor activity and circadian rhythms, finding that it alters activity levels and disrupts circadian patterns, similar to its effects in bipolar disorder treatment.

The paper analyzes testis transcriptomes across primates to show convergent evolution linked to mating strategies, finding both tissue composition shifts and cell-autonomous changes.
