Great to work with amazing team below, @JirGarci, @KlausLunau to test stingless- and honey- bees on their comparative colour preferences.

Twins! Second #PhD paper is out! 💖🎉
In my head it is titled: There and back again... My adventures alongside the spectrometer

Writing this one really changed me ☺️. I hope is useful for other #colsci researchers in ecology.

Digital Dimensions 📐➕: Dr Scarlett Howard from @MonashBiol has contributed to a study in @PLOSONE which revealed that people process numbers more quickly when they are listed vertically from lowest to highest rather than horizontally: bit.ly/3e69gm1 @TheBeesearcher

A fascinating study by Luke Greenacre @MonashMarketing, Adrian Dyer @OzBeeUVBG, Jair García @JirGarci & Scarlett Howard @TheBeesearcher @MonashBiol and published in @PLOSONE has found that we process numbers faster when they are displayed vertically. theconversation.com/counting…

"Neuroscience has solved part of the mystery, by identifying a system that drives wanting in mammals involving specific brain regions. Desire may help an animal to survive, [ex.] experiencing pleasure from nutritious food." Story: @OzBeeUVBG & @JirGarci theconversation.com/why-do-w…

The miniature brains of honeybees were able to understand the concepts of odd and even, despite only having 960,000 neurons (compared to 86 billion in humans).
Until now this had only been shown in humans.

@MartinGiurfa, Prof #UT3 et son équipe ont prouvé l'existence d'un système de l’appétence chez les #abeilles, dans @ScienceMagazine. Une découverte qui peut permettre, à terme, d'agir pour leur survie 🐝! #CRCA @CbiToulouse @CNRS_Toulouse

There's something "odd" going on in honeybees...
We trained bees to categorise numbers as being odd or even - they could even do it with novel numbers!
A simple artificial neural network of 5 neurons was also able to categorise odd/even numbers.

Awesome new work in collaboration with @TheBeesearcher , @andy_greentree , @OzBeeUVBG on the "odd" capacity of bees to categorise numbers as even or odd.

Mirrorlike surfaces have evolved in open-ocean fishes as well as in spiders, butterfly chrysalises and most branches of the vast diversity of beetles. One idea proposes that these living mirrors may confound predators. sciencenews.org/article/mirr…
