I am thrilled to share my second PhD manuscript! We modelled bee polarisation vision and tested two navigational models. Many thanks to @jjfosterlab.bsky.social and all our collaborators (@egkanias.bsky.social,@edinburgh-uni.bsky.social,@insectlabsu.bsky.social) for such a productive collaboration!

Do bright lights change how you dance? 🔆💃 Waggle-dancing honeybees interpret bright UV & green as the sun, but dim UV as a patch of sky. Thanks Keram Pfeiffer @uni-wuerzburg.de for trusting me with your data & @jgraving.bsky.social for the circular GLMM. doi.org/10.21203/rs....

@gkolyfetis.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de presenting his work on bee navigation at the annual meeting of the Beekeepers of Baden in Radolfzell 🍯🐝. Thank you for the invitation! Great to see the public interest in science and find out what we can learn from each other. 👁️🧭

Our findings on bees' photoreceptors are now officially published in Biology Letters of the Royal Society Publishing!! Thanks again for a productive collaboration @jjfosterlab.bsky.social and @gregoeur.bsky.social !! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

I'm really happy to share the first preprint of my PhD work in @jjfosterlab.bsky.social! During a fruitful collaboration with @gregoeur.bsky.social, we uncovered a surprising feature of bees' eyes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exciting preprint from our very own @gkolyfetis.bsky.social about coupled photoreceptors in the Dorsal Rim Areas of the eyes of honeybees and bumblebees. 🐝👁️🧭
