I remember finding the first edition of this book in the Bristol University library during my Bachelor’s studies and being absolutely fascinated. A real honour to have the opportunity to contribute a chapter on bee polarization vision to the 3rd edition!

How do sky conditions impact bumblebee navigation? In collab w/ @araujobees of @INSECTLab_SU Frida & @kolyfetis took polarization images of skies at @navarinoNEO that were clear, overcast & even full of Sahara dust! These help us understand how insects use the sky to navigate🐝🧭

Crazy story of beetles continuing to defy our expectations by doing things differently at night. Thanks @AyseYH1 for inviting me on this journey into the weird world of big eyes and green skies.
Nocturnal dung beetles keep oriented using a dorsal rim, made of broadband-sensitive, green-peaking photoreceptors. Last article w @AyseYH1 & @LundVision from the series, based on a 2 week recording session during the first lockdown in 2020.

What do 🦋 learn about the positions of the flowers they visit? Thank you @BeetzJerome inviting me to work on the statistics on this one.
So excited to advert our recent publication @RSocPublishing . We behaviorally tested the spatial memory of monarch butterflies and found that the🦋can learn landmarks to localize a food source. @Uni_WUE .
