Abstract Stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) are a group of highly eusocial bees with
pantropic distribution. The variety of life styles among the approximately 600 species and …

The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness.
Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in …

Free-flying bees learn efficiently to solve numerous visual tasks. Yet, the neural
underpinnings of this capacity remain unexplored. We used a 3D virtual reality (VR) …

Simulations and synthetic datasets have historically empower the research in different
service robotics-related problems, being revamped nowadays with the utilization of rich …

Honey bees exhibit remarkable visual learning capacities, which can be studied using
virtual reality (VR) landscapes in laboratory conditions. Existing VR environments for bees …

Motivation can critically influence learning and memory. Multiple neural mechanisms
regulate motivational states, among which signalling via specific neuropeptides, such as …

The capacity to process numbers can be found in many vertebrate species, which share
similar behavioral and neural mechanisms for number estimation. Honeybees possess a …

The introduction and spread of non-native flora threatens native pollinators and plants. Non-
native angiosperms can compete with native plants for pollinators, space, and other …

Despite representing the majority of bee species, non-eusocial bees (eg solitary, subsocial,
semisocial, and quasisocial species) are comparatively understudied in learning, memory …

Bumblebees perform complex flight maneuvers around the barely visible entrance of their
nest upon their first departures. During these flights bees learn visual information about the …
