ERC Starting Grant European Research Council (ERC) of 1.5 million euros in funding awarded to #UniKonstanz Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour biologist Anna Stöckl Anna Stöckl anna-stoeckl.bsky.social for her project "DynamicVision" investigating the visually-guided flight of moths Visual Insect Neuroeth. @insect-vision.bsky.social. Details: t1p.de/3cmvl

Are you at the #dzg23 and have you ever thought about how flying insects might adapt their flight strategies to optimise visual acquisition in dim light? Come and check out poster N19 from our AndreaGonsek! DZG Neurobiologie DZG GradSchool: Multiscale clocks

We end the year by belatedly welcoming George George Kolyfetis to the lab! His PhD project funded by DFG public | @[email protected] and Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour investigates how 🐝 turn sky polarization patterns into an internal 🧭

What do 🦋 learn about the positions of the flowers they visit? Thank you Jerome Beetz inviting me to work on the statistics on this one.

Paper🚨t.ly/Q1EV- we show how hummingbird hawkmoths visually control their proboscis when probing flower patterns. Basically: not so different from how we get our fingers to an app on our phone! But using a "tongue". t.ly/HTIcM (PR Universität Konstanz) 🧵

Crazy story of beetles continuing to defy our expectations by doing things differently at night. Thanks Ayse Yilmaz for inviting me on this journey into the weird world of big eyes and green skies.

Best of both worlds: science and carnival in our neurobiology seminar today 🥳🎊🪅 the time of the year when we broaden our scope to organisms other than insects 🐸🦑☀️🐓🦩🎩🌈

How do sky conditions impact bumblebee navigation? In collab w/ Priscila Araújo of INSECT Lab SU Frida & George Kolyfetis took polarization images of skies at NAVARINO ENVIRONMENTAL OBSERVATORY that were clear, overcast & even full of Sahara dust! These help us understand how insects use the sky to navigate🐝🧭

Off to university: That is the motto for year 8 pupils from #Konstanz this week. The pupils gain insights into research topics Universität Konstanz and are invited to conduct experiments. Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour neurobiologists Anna Stöckl anna-stoeckl.bsky.social and JJFosterLab gave a workshop on “Strange Sensory Worlds”.

🧵🚨The Konstanz Neuroethology swarm is coming to Berlin #icn2024berlin @neuroethology 🦋🐝🦗🪰🕷️🐟🐉 We will exclusively present posters, and spice it up with a treasure hunt🔍. Visit all posters (lineup👇), solve the riddle (see 🧵👇) and win a prize🏆!

I remember finding the first edition of this book in the Bristol University library during my Bachelor’s studies and being absolutely fascinated. A real honour to have the opportunity to contribute a chapter on bee polarization vision to the 3rd edition! link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
