In an article published today, we show that ancient feeding-related neuropeptides have been repurposed to control brood care in clonal raider ants. Photo: Bart Zijlstra, UNIL /1

Our preprint is out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Peter Skovorodnikov and I are excited to present FERAL: a new video-understanding toolkit that maps raw video directly to behavior, no pose estimation required. It works across species, from lab to field, and even in collective systems. (🧵1/n)

FERAL: A Video-Understanding System for Direct Video-to-Behavior Mapping
Animal behavior unfolds continuously in time, yet quantitative analyses often require segmenting it into discrete, interpretable states. Although manual annotation can achieve this, it remains slow, s...

#SfN25 Monday morning we present FERAL: a video-understanding tool for animal behavior detection without the need for tracking or pose estimation! FERAL detects single animal, social and collective behavior in the lab and the wild! Visit our poster at board ZZ5 and check more here: www.getferal.ai

New episode of our podcast is out! In this episode, @yguenzel.bsky.social and Inga Petelski will tell us all about how shy, solitary locusts can transform into hungry, gregarious ones who are ready to march with millions to search for the next meal. www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-b...

🚨🦗 Virtual reality experiments revealed that a minimal cognitive framework - and not explicit neighbor alignment - drives collective motion, rewriting the rules of swarm behavior! #VR #Swarm #Science #Locust Don’t miss it; check out the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The behavioral mechanisms governing collective motion in swarming locusts
Collective motion, which is ubiquitous in nature, has traditionally been explained by “self-propelled particle” models from theoretical physics. Here we show, through field, lab, and virtual reality e...

Interested in understanding how things work? In particular the tools you use to study the brain? Join us at TENSS 2025 where we brainstorm ideas, build and debug microscopes, electrophysiology and behavior rigs amidst the picturesque Transylvanian hills! tenss.ro Apply by: February 16th!
