Between Italy, Germany and Greece. I am an ethologist, PhD students at the University of Oldenburg, working on the navigation and magnetoreception of ants. My heart is divided between ants and penguins.

It was a great pleasure to present our last paper about #magnetoreception in #Cataglyphis ants at the #IUSSI2026. Extremely rewarding to exchange with incredible scientists working with social insects. I learn a lot of new interesting facts. 🐜🧭🐝🌲 @uissi-social.bsky.social

New study shows that Cataglyphis hellenica 🐜 learns a nest direction by using a magnetic compass 🧲🧭. Demonstrating that a magnetic compass is widespread in Cataglyphis ants. @chiaratenne.bsky.social @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Happy to share our new paper! We provide the first evidence of magnetoreception in Cataglyphis hellenica, suggesting that the use of the GMF is more widespread than unique in Cataglyphis ants 🐜🧭@cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

[2/2] Also, I can highly recommend making a pubquiz on „Nature‘s GPS“. It was a lot of fun preparing and moderating the pubquiz with @chiaratenne.bsky.social. I learned so many fascinating animal navigation facts! 🧭🐥

Last week was full of interesting talk about #science at our #sfb1372 autumn meeting at the #University of Oldenburg and at the #neuroscience meeting at the #HanseWissenschaftskollegen. Me, my team and our supervisor @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social could talk about #neuroethology in #insects! 🐜🧭🧲

Chiara Tenneriello, PhD student of @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social talked today about her research on testing whether desert ants have a particle-based magentic compass. #dzg2025 @chiaratenne.bsky.social

We just wrapped up our 2nd behavioural biology session 🧠✨ Great chats about clever fish & insects — and how their smarts connect to genetics and the environment. #DZG2025 @chiaratenne.bsky.social @tyroneluconxiccato.bsky.social

The past two weeks showed me why being a #neuroethologist is the best job 😍 Field work in Greece 🇬🇷: ➡️ observing #ants 🐜 ➡️ lab experiments 🔬🧠 ➡️ scientific discussions🧪💬 ➡️ teaching & supervision ➡️ great food 🍽. I can't wait to discuss the data in the future🤩 Thanks @chiaratenne.bsky.social & team🤗

It was really exiting to present a poster about one of my PhD projects at my University in Oldenburg for the sfb1372 symposium! It was a great symposium and I had the possibility to discuss science with so many interesting people! #conference @sfb1372.bsky.social
