Do they see what we see? 🐝 Bees and wasps join humans in being tricked by illusions of quantity, write Dr Scarlett Howard + Adrian G Dyer (Monash University). theconversation.com/do-they-see-wh…

Love this panel discussion title at VicBioCon #VicBioCon24 - "Not so cute and fluffy!" I'm always keen on discussions of how to conserve, support, and popularise less charismatic species. Seems like a good place to push my own publication on this topic: wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org/animsent/vol4/…

Shout out to all the fabulous collaborators, friends, colleagues, and students I am honoured to work with on International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪🔭👩‍🔬🥼🐝🐞🪲🌼🌸 Keep up the wonderful breakthroughs advancing our understanding of the natural world.

This is the reason we should have all meetings outside! You might get the chance to see blue-banded bees (Amegilla). Of course, then the 3 of us spent 10 minutes trying to capture a picture...

"Unveiling the homes of insects" 🪲🐝🦋🪰 Huge congratulations to Sesa Singha Roy on her poster presentation at VicBioCon. This poster represents an immense amount of work that bridges the gap between ecology questions and computer science methods. #VicBioCon24 @AnimAlanDorin

Awesome presentation by Honours student, Yuqing Lin, discussing the foraging decisons of honeybees at VicBioCon in the "Flight of the Pollinators" session. #VicBioCon24 Adrian G Dyer

How would your animal answer these questions? Get inspired by the interview, written by the authors of this Journal of Experimental Biology article advocating for rethinking behavioral research design. 👉journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22… @Monika_K_Scholz Serena Ding @elegansdiversus Jimmy Liao Abhilasha Joshi, PhD

Catching up with our newest collaborator - small brain, but big ideas! 🪰 Adrian G Dyer

Congratulations to Yuqing Lin on the final seminar for Honours! 🐝🌻🎉It has been a great pleasure to work with this team! Yuqing's research will greatly advance our understanding of pollinator flower choice and plant-pollinator evolution. Leslie Ng Adrian G Dyer

I try to do a lot of science communication, but I've been outdone on my own research here. Way to make research on bees ordering zero accessible and perhaps more humorous than it already was, @ScientistSpidey!

This is not an easy feat! Amazing work by Lars Chittka and the bees 🐝

Last week the ICEB Lab celebrated the submission of Yuqing Lin's Honour's thesis 🎉 Congratulations to Yuqing on her incredibly hard work and truly fascinating results. Yuqing has expanded our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions and evolution🐝🌻🪻🌹🌷🪷🥀🐝

📢 Call for papers! Dr. Vanessa Kellermann & I are co-editing a Journal of Insect Physiology special issue: "Non-eusocial Bees and Pollination: Biology, Behaviour, and Physiology in Climate Change Conditions." 🐝🌍 Submit by Dec 31, 2024! More information: sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

Congratulations to Zaza Kuo on her first publication! Zaza's research explores how space and quantity are associated in the honeybee brain 🐝🔢🧠As it turns out, bees order quantities from left-to-right with a bias for the right side of space. Full article-sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to PhD Rob Moore on his first publication! 🐝🗺️ Rob showed how non-traditional data sources (e.g. social media and community science) can alter species distribution models using a case study on native #Australian #bees. See our article: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Do you order numbers like a bee? Our new piece in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand explains the complexities of how tiny brains (and larger ones) represent and link the concepts of space and number 🐝🔢🧠 Zaza Kuo Adrian G Dyer Leslie Ng theconversation.com/bees-count-fro…
