The honeybee Apis mellifera has emerged as a robust and influential model for the study of
classical conditioning, thanks to the existence of a powerful Pavlovian conditioning protocol …

Equipped with a mini brain smaller than one cubic millimeter and containing only 950,000
neurons, honeybees could be indeed considered as having rather limited cognitive abilities …

In this BEEBOOK paper we present a set of established methods for quantifying honey bee
behaviour. We start with general methods for preparing bees for behavioural assays. Then …

Background Cataglyphis fortis ants forage individually for dead arthropods in the
inhospitable salt-pans of Tunisia. Locating the inconspicuous nest after a foraging run of …

The honeybee Apis mellifera has been a central insect model in the study of olfactory
perception and learning for more than a century, starting with pioneer work by Karl von …

With Manduca sexta as a model system, we analyzed how natural odor mixtures that are
most effective in eliciting flight and foraging behaviors are encoded in the primary olfactory …

We studied olfactory learning in two ant species, Camponotus mus from Argentina and
Camponotus fellah from Israel. To this end, we established an experimental laboratory …

Effective decision making in a changing environment demands that accurate predictions are
learned about decision outcomes. In Drosophila, such learning is orchestrated in part by the …

For insects living in an environment where food supplies constantly change, the ability to
learn and to memorize the association of a specific cue with food is indispensable. The …
