Diverse invertebrate species have been used for studies of learning and comparative
cognition. Although we have gained invaluable information from this, in this study we argue …

Plant volatiles are important cues for many herbivorous insects when choosing a suitable
host plant and finding a mating partner. An appropriate behavioural response to sensory …

Abstract Locusts are grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) that are characterised by their
capacity for extreme population density-dependent polyphenism, transforming between a …

Sensory stimuli evoke neural activity that evolves over time. What features of these
spatiotemporal responses allow the robust encoding of stimulus identity in a multistimulus …

Stand-off chemical sensing is an important capability with applications in several domains
including homeland security. Engineered devices for this task, popularly referred to as …

Successfully locating a host plant is crucial for an insect herbivore to feed and/or oviposit.
However, locating a host within a complex environment that may contain an array of different …

Social learning is an evolutionarily important ability increasingly attributed also to
invertebrate species. Interfacing robots with animals represents a promising strategy to …

The relationship between plants and insects is influenced by insects' behavioral decisions
during foraging and oviposition. In mutualistic pollinators and antagonistic herbivores, past …

Collective phenomena are studied in a range of contexts—from controlling locust plagues to
efficiently evacuating stadiums—but the central question remains: how can a large number …

Even simple sensory stimuli evoke neural responses that are dynamic and complex. Are the
temporally patterned neural activities important for controlling the behavioral output? Here …
