E. Frasnelli e M. Bortot hanno presentato i primi risultati di MicroBee (Fondazione CARITRO) sul ruolo del microbiota nella salute, nella locomozione e nelle abilità cognitive dell’ape da miele, durante un incontro tecnico per gli apicoltori trentini. ℹ️palazzoroccabruna.it/seminar…

The last part of my PhD journey is finally out! 🥳 We investigated the ability of bees to extrapolate regularities from the environment by exploiting the PER (Proboscis Extension Response) paradigm🐝 See more on: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @gVallortigara

Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

Wow! Il nostro ultimo lavoro che racconta della stabile emergenza agricola in cui viviamo e dei conseguenti impatti sull'essere umano, gli impollinatori e l'ambiente, è disponibile qui per chiunque: doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.… @LucaCarisio @NoaSimonDelso @DISAFA_INT @DSVunito @unito
I pesticidi utilizzati per l’emergenza agricola sono altamente tossici per api, ambiente e salute umana. Lo studio di Unito che lo dimostra: unitonews.it/index.php/it/ne… @simo_tosi

It’s no secret that animals see, hear, and smell differently to humans. Yet when we design experiments to test animal behaviour, we often inadvertently use ourselves as a reference point. A new #ProcB paper investigates these biases: ow.ly/sZIt50SEkNV @turlminwebs

Thrilled to share a *NEW PRE-PRINT* I’ve been working on for the last few years! @IDsignals, W. Freiwald, and I describe the neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp, Polistes fuscatus. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/10
