I wanted to note that I really appreciate the robust discussion about, and interest in, this post. As an insect neuroecologist and physiologist, it’s gratifying to see a community of folks engaging with insect neuroscience and behavior in such a meaningful way.
I really do encourage folks to read the full paper—it addresses many of the things you might be interested in (it’s hard to capture 75 pages of research in only 1000 words, so we necessarily lost some detail). If for some reason you can’t access it, I’m happy to share a pdf copy or you can email Dr. Chittka, the corresponding author for the paper.
I’ve reached my time limit for replying to comments here, so please don’t take any future silence as indicative that your questions are in any way bad/uninteresting/I don’t care about them. I’ve just gone back to being busy doing more research on bugs.
