New pre-print from the lab, led by the amazing @Saumya_Gupta1 ! We found that swarming mosquitoes integrate acoustic and visual information to recognize mates and for collision avoidance—a great collaboration with @floriantm's group and Olivier Roux.

This study was led by Jeremy Chan, a fantastic grad student, and who was co-advised with @atmostaj . This study benefitted from a fantastic team of coauthors, and joins the work of @RobbieGirling and many others on the effects of pollution on pollinators.
