I'm excited to share our new JEB paper about how honeybee swarms thermoregulate by changing their collective morphology! With @opeleg and @Mahadevan_Lab.
doi.org/10.1242/jeb.242234 Thread! 👇 (1/11)
I intended to tag @oritpeleg who was an author on this work. I messed up her handle on the first tweet.🤦♂️

. @Mahadevan_Lab @JacobPeters10 show that honeybee clusters are able to regulate their temperature by spreading apart, stretching and widening as air temperatures rise

This work compliments our previous paper on mechanical adaptation in honeybee swarm clusters (doi.org/10.1038/s41567-018-0…). As it turns out, they change shape in response to changes in both temperature and mechanical loading! (10/11)
For more reading, check out this classic paper by Bernd Heinrich on energetics of swarm thermoregulation (doi.org/10.1242/jeb.91.1.25) and @SamOcko's theoretical work on the topic (doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2013.10…). (11/11)

Flying cell carpets ! decreasing intercellular cell-cell adhesion (E-Cadherin-mediated) in a patch of mouse skin cells allows to orient their migration collectively with an electric field. Possible applications for wound healing. @DJCohenEtAl

Researchers zoomed into termite mounds to understand how the insects build these complex structures without a plan or a planner: buff.ly/2Y8gsTz

A new study shows the dragonfly Pantala flavescens migrates as much as 8,000 miles round-trip between India and Japan. Researchers say the findings show the potential of using stable isotopes to track insect migrations. entomologytoday.org/2020/12/…
