Research around the turn of the millennium showed that honeybees use the amount of optic flow during foraging flights to estimate the distance between a food source and the hive. Upon returning to the hive, they communicate this information...

Despite their tiny size, lepidopterans accomplish some of the most extraordinary migrations on Earth. Monarch butterflies and bogong moths, for example, travel vast distances to find the same seasonal sheltering sites year after year, and r...

In 1973, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz, and Nikolaas Tinbergen for their pioneering work in the development of Ethology. This branch of science, which involves the study of animal b...

The antennae are the primary olfactory organs of insects, though other appendages, such as mouthparts and the female ovipositor, can also detect odors. A prerequisite for the olfactory function of an appendage is the presence of sensilla wi...

Migratory birds have evolved a multitude of physiological and behavioural adaptations to reach their population-specific wintering areas during their first migration. The endogenous program encodes distance, direction and fuelling, and invo...

Delayed-rectifier voltage-gated K+ conductances (IK) can confer band-pass properties to the membrane impedance gain function in the frequency domain, and shorten the duration of transient receptor potentials evoked by voltage-insensitive re...

Butterflies have evolved a remarkable diversity in eye organization to support a range of vision-based behaviors including courtship, oviposition, and foraging. This diversity has been surveyed extensively across the butterfly phylogeny, bu...

In a non-peer-reviewed arXiv preprint Laura Luebbert and Lior Pachter made numerous criticisms of the work of Mandyam Srinivasan and colleagues, suggesting that there was evidence of data duplication and data manipulation in their work. The...

Insect compound eyes adapt in response to average stimulus intensity, but the adaptation is mediated also by intrinsic circadian rhythms and abiotic factors like temperature, which are indirectly related to the stimulus. We studied the effe...
