When using visual cues to make flower choices, they switch strategy with sensory context, learning as much as necessary, but as little as possible. Based on their training time, we propose a mechanism for this switch. tinyurl.com/2r9d4jrs 🌸🐝🧠 [contains quote post or other embedded content]27 Feb 2026 14:54 +0000at://did:plc:7p2ypxj7a5xlrrig64wt3ezc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mftxpcyrjk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/insect-vision.bsky.social/post/3mcrtjrv6ls2nNew paper from the lab, led by @ronjabigge.bsky.social, in collaboration with Kentaro Arikawa.
