To Bees or Not to Bees: Greater Honeyguides Sometimes Guide Humans to Animals Other Than Bees, but Likely Not as Punishment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
We show that greater honeyguides guide humans to nonbee destinations (snakes and a dead mammal); yet this is a rare occurrence, happening in only 3.7% of human‐honeyguide interactions in 1 year and 0% in other years. We show that guiding behavior to these vertebrates is spatially and acoustically similar to honeyguide behavior when guiding to bees; yet

The Complexly Parcellated, Yet Quantitatively Reduced, Orexinergic/Hypocretinergic System of Humans

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 2, February 2025.
Immunohistochemical staining for orexin‐A reveals the novel parvocellular orexinergic neuronal cluster (left) in the human brain. In comparison to the more typically observed orexinergic neurons of the main cluster (right), the parvocellular neurons have much smaller soma. Scale bar = 100 µm, applies to both images.
