Host-derived organic acids enable gut colonization of the honey bee symbiont Snodgrassella alvi

Diverse bacteria can colonize the animal gut using dietary nutrients or by engaging in microbial crossfeeding interactions. Less is known about the role of host-derived nutrients in enabling gut bacterial colonization. Here we examined metabolic interactio ...

Architecture of a decentralised decision support system for futuristic beehives

Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills

Honeybees are essential to human society, providing pollination services globally as well as producing honey and other valuable products. Effective management of apiaries should not only rely on beekeeper knowledge and skill, but also incorporate new infor ...

Targeted worker removal reveals a lack of flexibility in brood transport specialisation with no compensatory gain in efficiency

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Laurent Keller, Fazil Emre Uslu

Division of labour is widely thought to increase the task efficiency of eusocial insects. Workers can switch their task to compensate for sudden changes in demand, providing flexible task allocation. In combination with automated tracking technology, we de ...

A robotic honeycomb for interaction with a honeybee colony

Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills, Rafael Botner Barmak

Robotic technologies have shown the capability to interact with living organisms and even to form integrated mixed societies composed of living and artificial agents. Biocompatible robots, incorporating sensing and actuation capable of generating and respo ...

A study model for reconstructing urban ecological niches

Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills

The Living Arch is a study model that was designed to showcase our ongoing research into bioactive architectural systems to be inhabited by honeybees. The arch is a synergistic combination of 3D printing and active mycelia growth, created for a museum exhi ...

Automated computer-based detection of encounter behaviours in groups of honeybees

Alessandro Crespi, Laurent Keller

Honeybees form societies in which thousands of members integrate their behaviours to act as a single functional unit. We have little knowledge on how the collaborative features are regulated by workers' activities because we lack methods that enable collec ...

Uncovering Latent Behaviors in Ant Colonies

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Laurent Keller, Mohamed Kafsi, Raphaël Braunschweig

Many biological systems exhibit collective behaviors that strengthen their adaptability to their environment, compared to more solitary species. Describing these behaviors is challenging yet necessary in order to understand these biological systems. We pro ...

Mechanosensory interactions drive collective behaviour in Drosophila

Dario Floreano, Pavan P Ramdya, Pawel Lichocki, Lukas Frisch, Winnie Wing Yee Tse

Collective behaviour enhances environmental sensing and decision-making in groups of animals. Experimental and theoretical investigations of schooling fish, flocking birds and human crowds have demonstrated that simple interactions between individuals can ...
