Lars Chittka

Zoologist, ethologist and ecologist specializing in the evolution of insect cognitive systems. Chittka made fundamental contributions to the understanding of animal cognition; he studied phenomena such as numericity, speed-accuracy trade-offs, false memories and social learning in bees. His discoveries have had a significant impact on the understanding of animal intelligence and its neural underpinnings, and in his latest book, titled “Bees” showed that insect minds are more than simple machines.”PszczoĹ‚y”
