Portrait of Bianca Jaske

I am interested in understanding how environmental temperature modulates neuronal activity and behavior in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris. By combining neurophysiological approaches (particularly tetrode recordings) with behavioral experiments, I investigate temperature-dependent and temperature-compensated processes from a neuroethological perspective. This allows us to understand how neuronal and behavioral mechanisms are affected by temperature and how they contribute to thermal robustness in bumblebees.
