Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...
Bees navigate long distances without satellites, digital maps, or external guidance. By reading patterns in the sky and sensing their own movement, they track their position and return home with ...
Insect neurobiology offers profound insights into how relatively compact nervous systems address complex navigational challenges. Central to these advances is the characterisation of specialised ...
Germany is exploring controversial defence research creating bioelectronic insects for surveillance. A startup, SWARM Biotactics, is developing prototypes combining living insects with electronic ...
