Robert T, Tarapata K, Nityananda V
Behav Ecol Sociobiol . 2024 Feb; 78(2):22. PMID: 38333735
Abstract: The role of visual search during bee foraging is relatively understudied compared to the choices made by bees. As bees learn about rewards, we predicted that visual search would...

Collett T, Robert T, Frasnelli E, Philippides A, Hempel de Ibarra N
J Exp Biol . 2023 Mar; 226(8). PMID: 36995307
The start of a bumblebee's first learning flight from its nest provides an opportunity to examine the bee's learning behaviour during its initial view of the nest's unfamiliar surroundings. Like...

Hall K, Robert T, Gaston K, Hempel de Ibarra N
Ecol Evol . 2021 Jun; 11(11):6536-6545. PMID: 34141238
Foraging on flowers in low light at dusk and dawn comes at an additional cost for insect pollinators with diurnal vision. Nevertheless, some species are known to be frequently active...

Frasnelli E, Robert T, Chow P, Scales B, Gibson S, Manning N, et al.
Curr Biol . 2020 Dec; 31(5):1058-1064.e3. PMID: 33373638
Honeybees and bumblebees perform learning flights when leaving a newly discovered flower. During these flights, bees spend a portion of the time turning back to face the flower when they...

Chow P, Lea S, Hempel de Ibarra N, Robert T
Anim Cogn . 2019 Apr; 22(5):645-655. PMID: 30976933
Inhibiting learned behaviours when they become unproductive and searching for an alternative solution to solve a familiar but different problem are two indicators of flexibility in problem solving. A wide...

Robert T, Frasnelli E, Hempel de Ibarra N, Collett T
J Exp Biol . 2018 Jan; 221(Pt 4). PMID: 29361597
On leaving a significant place to which they will return, bees and wasps perform learning flights to acquire visual information to guide them back. The flights are set in different...

Chow P, Lea S, Hempel de Ibarra N, Robert T
Anim Cogn . 2017 Jul; 20(5):941-952. PMID: 28698931
When animals encounter a task they have solved previously, or the same problem appears in a different apparatus, how does memory, alongside behavioural traits such as persistence, selectivity and flexibility,...

Robert T, Frasnelli E, Collett T, Hempel de Ibarra N
J Exp Biol . 2016 Dec; 220(Pt 5):930-937. PMID: 27994042
Female bees and wasps demonstrate, through their performance of elaborate learning flights, when and where they memorise features of a significant site. An important feature of these flights is that...
