Within the SFB1047 project of Charlotte Förster and in cooperation with the Department of Ecology, Kathi Beer developed a new activity monitor that allows for the first time to monitor the activity of single honey bees that are in contact with their colony.

Within the SFB1047 project of Dirk Rieger, Saskia Eck thermogenetically activated clock neurons "out-of-phase" to test their role in phase-shifting the locomotor activity. A key finding of their study is that the phase-shift in behaviour is paralleled by a shift in the cycling of the molecular clock.
