How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Information flow and organization of stingless bee foraging (2004, neutral): “They can learn and memorize many things and may share some advanced cognitive features, e.g. concept abstraction (Giurfa et al., 1996, 1999), with honey bees.”
Meta-cognition in Animals: A Skeptical Look (2008, background): “I have claimed that all of the evidence of meta-cognition in animals that has been adduced so far can be explained in first-order, non-meta-cognitive, terms.”
Not-So-CLEVR: learning same–different relations strains feedforward neural networks (2018, background): “Previous studies showed that non-human primates [44,45], birds [2,46], rodents [47] and even insects [48] can be trained to recognize abstract relations between training objects and then transfer this knowledge to novel objects.”
The dynamics of social learning in an insect model, the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) (2007, background): “Most of these species also learn about aspects of their environment, and recent decades have revealed that some have surprisingly complex cognitive abilities (Giurfa et al. 2001; Giurfa 2003; Menzel et al. 2006).”
The cognition of ‘nuisance’ species (2019, background): “Some insects, including honey bees (Apis spp.), are capable of categorizing odours and colours via simple forms of rule learning (Chittka & Niven, 2009; Giurfa, Zhang, Jenett, Menzel, & Srinivasan, 2001; Menzel & Giurfa, 2001).”
