Honeybee communication: animal social learning at the height of social complexity (BeeDanceGap)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2021,

Learning from others is fundamental to ecological success across the animal kingdom, but a key theme to emerge from recent research is that individuals respond differently to social information. Understanding this diversity is an imposing challenge, because it is hard to replicate the overwhelming complexity of free-living groups within controlled laboratory conditions. Yet here I propose that one ...

Mid- and far-IR optoelectronic devices based on Bose-Einstein condensation (MIR-BOSE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Optoelectronic devices typically operate in the weak coupling regime between light and matter, for example in conventional lasers relying on population inversion to achieve optical gain. Recently there has been a surge of interest in quantum systems operating instead in the strong coupling regime, when the coupling strength of the light-matter interaction is so strong that new states – cavity pola ...

New constraints on the Amazonian carbon balance from airborne observations of the stable isotopes of CO2 (ASICA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Severe droughts in Amazonia in 2005 and 2010 caused widespread loss of carbon from the terrestrial biosphere. This loss, almost twice the annual fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the EU, suggests a large sensitivity of the Amazonian carbon balance to a predicted more intense drought regime in the next decades. This is a dangerous inference though, as there is no scientific consensus on the most basic m ...
