Les insectes sont-ils intelligents ? (selon la science)

Are insects intelligent and sentient? You'll be surprised! In this episode, we explore the latest scientific discoveries regarding their cognitive abilities. On the agenda: we debunk the "animal-machine" myth with recent evidence. We start with habituation in dragonfly larvae, then move on to the Pavlovian reflex in the American cockroach (yes, a cockroach can salivate "on command"). We examine self-awareness through the mirror test in certain ants (with all the necessary precautions). Then we turn our attention to culture in insects: bumblebees learn through observation how to open a puzzle box, spread the "right method," and create true traditions. We also explore their spatial memory (Cataglyphis velox ants and their mental maps), false memories in bumblebees, and the numerical abilities of bees—all the way to understanding zero. We finally open the ethical debate: sensitive insects, possible pain, and the concrete impacts of certain pesticides (such as glyphosate) on the learning and memory of bumblebees. #zoology #science #AnimalIntelligence ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📽️ Bestial Science 🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🤓 François Verheggen - Writing and Presentation 😎 Louis Ska - Editing and Sound Design 📨 [email protected] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📚 My Published Books 📚▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📙 A TANGUY AMONG THE HYENAS: 30 Surprising Animal Behaviors https://amzn.to/42ESIqt 📕 THE CICADA AND THE ZOMBIE: These Behaviors We Thought Were Specific to Humans https://amzn.to/3I45qWe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥 My Gear 🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥 Sony CAMERA: https://amzn.to/3RLTXAj 📸 Sigma LENS: https://amzn.to/4hjdQbK 🎙️ RØDE MIC: https://amzn.to/49K1y93 📺 PROMPTER: https://amzn.to/482449X 💡 LIGHTING: https://amzn.to/4jproUS 🌈 Custom LIGHTING: https://amzn.to/40oSa79 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🧑🏼‍🔬 Literature Cited (DOI) 👩‍🔬 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Conditioning Cockroaches: 10.1371/journal.pone.0000529 The Mirror Test in Ants: 10.1093/jisesa/ieu096 Teaching in Bumblebees: 10.1038/s41586-024-07126-4 Memory in Ants: 10.1038/s41598-022-06859-4 Constructive Memory in Bumblebees: 10.1098/rstb.2023.0405 Play in Bumblebees: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2022.08.013 The Concept of Zero in Bees: 10.1126/science.aar4975 Sentience in Insects: 10.1016/j.applanim.2021.105432 Pesticides and their Impact on Memory: 10.1111/eea.13418 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🙏 Wernaers Fund 🙏▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Best Science is supported by the Wernaers Fund for Research and the Dissemination of Knowledge. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💪 To support the channel ✨ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ YouTube subscriptions:    / @sciencebestiale   Tipeee: fr.tipeee.com/science-bestiale ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎥Related videos🎥 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►    • Amour et odeurs corporelles: les phéromone...   ►    • Des scientifiques ressuscitent les loups g...   ►    • Je visite la plus grande FERME à VENINS d'...   ►    • Pourquoi les animaux des abysses sont TOUS...   ►    • La vie de merde d'un puceron   ►    • Fais ça et les moustiques ne te piqueront ...   ►   • 4 Gestes écolos qui ruinent la biodiversité   ►    • Les 5 pets les plus dangereux du règne ani...   ►    • Pourquoi seuls les humains ont des seins ?   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⚠️Social Media🔈▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Find Science Bestiale on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Thread, and Bluesky.
