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.

This study compares in vivo electroporation and viral transduction for inducing EGFP expression in specific honeybee brain cell types, showing variable and homogeneous expression patterns respectively.

The paper introduces InsectBrainDatabase (IBdb), a platform for managing and sharing insect neuroanatomical and functional data, enabling cross-species comparisons and data reuse.

The paper shows that changes in single mushroom body output neuron activity in honeybees predict individual behavioral performance during memory retention.
