A neural correlate of learning fails to predict foraging efficiency in Bombus terrestris.

Grégoire Pasquier, Christopher D. Pull, Swidbert R. Ott, Ellouise Leadbeater

This study investigates the relationship between microglomerulus density in bumblebees and foraging efficiency, finding no direct correlation and suggesting a non-linear relationship with age.

This study tests for social immune memory in acorn ants and finds no evidence, suggesting previous positive results may stem from sublethal infections rather than cognitive effects.
