We usually assume 🐜 ants 🐜 learn views when facing their goal, but our data shows that it is not necessarily the case! We combined field experiments with a biologically constrained model to show how a two-stage neural circuit (MB -> CX) could allow this: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's summer and TinyBVH updates are slow, but something cool happened nevetheless: Florent Le Moël sends word that Python bindings for TinyBVH are now available. Check out the repo: github.com/FlorentLM/py... Great stuff!

🪰How does a fruit fly walk or fly in a perfectly straight line — even at high speed? It’s not just sharp vision. A sophisticated neural computation is at work. 🧠New study led by @champalimaudf.bsky.social Eugenia Chiappe. 📖 www.fchampalimaud.org/news/researc... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I know there's a 𝒍𝒐𝒕 going on right now, but I couldn’t be prouder to share this long-incubated labor of love: the complete connectome of the male 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎 optic lobe 🧠🪰 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A connectome of the right optic lobe from a male fruitfly is presented together with an extensive collection of genetic drivers matched to a comprehensive neuron-type catalogue.

An Eciton burchellii army ant submajor carrying prey back to the nest. Submajors are a specialized porter caste with disproportionately long hind legs. This allows them to push themselves off the ground and to carry even bulky prey items slung underneath the body.

These "follow starter packs" are great, I already have a very science-y feed only 1 day in!

Glad to be here, the old place really started to stink...

Inspired by @hleisthen.bsky.social and @denizhanpak.bsky.social I've put together a starter pack for neuroethology (broadly defined). Follow these people if you're interested in learning about the mechanisms underlying animal behaviour. Suggestions welcome! go.bsky.app/T5JTFzE
