🦋 New preprint out! 🧭
Do migratory moths in Europe use information from Earth’s magnetic field to determine their position — in other words, do they have a magnetic map?
Find out more in our new preprint!

🦋 A new preprint out! 🧭
We investigated orientation mechanisms in the red admiral (Vanessa atalanta), a common migratory butterfly in Europe.

Our newest paper is out. 🚨
We show that Cataglyphis #ants use the polarity of the #magnetic field for path integration during learning walks. This suggests a different mechanism for sensing magnetic fields compared with most other insects studied so far. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Processing the travelled distance is crucial for vector-based navigation in insects. A new study shed some light on distance processing in the 🐝 brain.

And the clip was finally on TV today 📺🥳 Check it out ↘️ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/d…↙️ It is in German, but the #ant scenes are fantastic also without explanation 🤩🐜🧭#Cataglyphis #Magnetoreception #Insectnavigation
😊Last week, the @ndr visited us to report about our #ant #research. The movie will be included in today‘s #NDR show „DAS!“ at 18:45. Do not miss it! Thanks to @SuJuSielaff and S. Sievert and to my lab for an exciting day!🎥🐜🧭👩🔬 #Cataglyphis #magnetorecption #neuroethology

What do pesticides to the honey bee brains? What is the truth about the safety of sub lethal doses? See our new work with MarcoPaoli in @EJNeuroscience on how neonicotinoids affect multiple areas of the bee brain. Necessary for debates on pesticides.

Bats are known for navigating their surroundings by way of echolocation.
But a new study reveals some species of these creatures of the night may also glow under ultraviolet light to signal their presence to others. scim.ag/89k @NewsfromScience
