  Comparative study between D. melanogaster and the invasive D. suzukii. Significant differences in structure and function of the antennal lobes could be the basis for their different host-seeking behaviour causing huge crop damage: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/16/1/84 #CalciumImaging #Olfaction #Drosophila #CIMeC #UniTrento

  How we investigate if and where the honey-bee brain responds to magnetic fields 🐝🧲: Our new paper in #Methods presents a platform combining in vivo two-photon calcium imaging with synchronized optical and magnetic stimulation. The platform provides a foundation for rigorous studies of the neuronal mechanisms of magnetoreception. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1046202326002033 Thanks to Alan Oesterle, who did most of the work. #Magnetoreception #Honeybees #CalciumImaging...
