A successfully returning forager communicates using the waggle dance where she found resources. Scientists decode this message to determine where bees are collecting food. Significant and consistent trends in intra-dance variation may be used to devise an efficient, effective, and cheap methodology for dance decoding. See the article by Couvillon et al.

Propose a new Workshop


Our Workshops bring together leading experts and early-career researchers from a range of scientific backgrounds. Applications are now open to propose Workshops for 2024, one of which will be held in a Global South country. .
Fast track

Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? BiO is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision in one week (or less).
First Person interviews
As a community journal, BiO is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers. Explore our full archive of First Person interviews to hear from the early-career researchers behind our papers, as they share the story behind the research, their thoughts on life at the bench and what’s in store for the future.
Future Leader Reviews
BiO’s Future Leader Reviews help early-career researchers:
- Establish themselves in their field
- Find a foothold in a new area after a subject change post-PhD/postdoc
- Build their profile for grant, fellowship and job applications
