Desert #locusts can form disastrous #swarms, threatening the food security of millions. In our new @NatureComms paper, we show how their olfactory system adapts to crowded conditions.
Here is a breakdown:

A study from @DanielKronauer's lab has revealed a new form of olfaction gene regulation that may be broadly shared across insect species—opening up a new window into studying connections between genes and social behaviors. Read a Q&A with the scientists:

A locust swarm descended upon collective behavior!
Excited to share my postdoc work with @icouzin
🚨🦗 Virtual reality experiments revealed that a minimal cognitive framework - and not explicit neighbor alignment - drives collective motion, rewriting the rules of swarm behavior!

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in @ScienceMagazine ! youtu.be/oBJnY4HKmeY?si=4O1I…

Already found some hints at #icn2024berlin? There is still a chance to win prizes at our treasure hunt! ✨🎁
So come and say hi at today's poster session. You find me at poster number 160! 🦗💫
All posters will carry a little Imperia, a prominent statue in Konstanz, holding a number and a letter.
The numbers give the order of the letters.
Together, they pose a question.
The answer of the question is the riddle's solution.
Poster lineup for the clues 👇#icn2024berlin
🚨🔬 Paper alert!
Are you interested in functional #calcium #imaging and how we managed to segment thousands of microglomeruli in the #locust antennal lobe?
Check out #CalciSeg and our new paper:

Heuschrecken können auch im Schwarm hervorragend riechen! Very interesting interview with our two doctoral students @pe_inga and @YGuenzel from @UniKonstanz in #SWRwissen #SWR about their latest #locust study. swr.de/swrkultur/wissen/stud…
Our study offers insights into locust #decision-making during foraging, linking behavioral preferences and physiological observations. Locusts' social & behavioral plasticity makes them ideal for future #neuroethology research.
