Separating behaviours of a species by sound? We demonstrate in this #openaccess paper that it looks possible.
We recorded #ant behaviours and each can be recognised by a classifier. Promising news for the acoustic monitoring of soils!

New preprint! ✨

In a recent study led by Qiuran Wang (@slimyleaf.bsky.social) and Niels Gaspers (@nielsgasp.bsky.social), we set out to examine if an acellular slime mould can do associative learning.

Exposure to paired blue light and nutrient alters aversive responses in Physarum polycephalum
Whilst forms of non-associative learning such as habituation are widely reported in single-celled organisms, whether associative learning is possible in systems without a nervous system is contested. ...
