I am proud to present our recent #neuroethology paper on #magnetoreception in #ants today on the #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience where all authors are #WomenInSTEM @chiaratenne.bsky.social 🤩👩🔬🧪🧠🐜🧭
Thanks to @sfb1372.bsky.social for featuring our research in a video 🤩 doi.org/10.1007/s003...
New study shows that Cataglyphis hellenica 🐜 learns a nest direction by using a magnetic compass 🧲🧭. Demonstrating that a magnetic compass is widespread in Cataglyphis ants. @chiaratenne.bsky.social @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social

Happy to share our new paper! We provide the first evidence of magnetoreception in Cataglyphis hellenica, suggesting that the use of the GMF is more widespread than unique in Cataglyphis ants 🐜🧭@cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...
What a journey the organisation of the #YoungResearchersSymposium in animal navigation and magnetoreception! Thank you to the other organanisers, the participants and to our #SFB1372. I am really happy to be part of this community. 🐜🦆🐟🦋🧭✨☀️
[2/2] Also, I can highly recommend making a pubquiz on „Nature‘s GPS“. It was a lot of fun preparing and moderating the pubquiz with @chiaratenne.bsky.social. I learned so many fascinating animal navigation facts! 🧭🐥
Last week was full of interesting talk about #science at our #sfb1372 autumn meeting at the #University of Oldenburg and at the #neuroscience meeting at the #HanseWissenschaftskollegen. Me, my team and our supervisor @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social could talk about #neuroethology in #insects! 🐜🧭🧲
Chiara Tenneriello, PhD student of @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social talked today about her research on testing whether desert ants have a particle-based magentic compass. #dzg2025
@chiaratenne.bsky.social
We just wrapped up our 2nd behavioural biology session 🧠✨ Great chats about clever fish & insects — and how their smarts connect to genetics and the environment.

Impressions if the field season 2025: test ant, field team, pine forest, house
The past two weeks showed me why being a #neuroethologist is the best job 😍 Field work in Greece 🇬🇷:
➡️ observing #ants 🐜
➡️ lab experiments 🔬🧠
➡️ scientific discussions🧪💬
➡️ teaching & supervision
➡️ great food 🍽.
I can't wait to discuss the data in the future🤩
Thanks @chiaratenne.bsky.social & team🤗
Impressions of the sfb meeting: poster session, lab logo of "the magic lab" and group photo
Just came back from the inspiring and intense @sfb1372.bsky.social meeting at @ruhr-uni-bochum.de. It was a pleasure discussing science 🧪 with all colleagues studying #AnimalNavigation and #Magnetoreception 🧭 Thanks to @chiaratenne.bsky.social for presenting our results on #ant navigation 🐜
It was really exiting to present a poster about one of my PhD projects at my University in Oldenburg for the sfb1372 symposium!
It was a great symposium and I had the possibility to discuss science with so many interesting people!
