Abstract
Giurfa, Marcout, Hilpert, Thevenoy, and Rugani (PNAS, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.22035841192022 ) report the first evidence of spatial representation of quantity in invertebrates. In an exciting and well-controlled series of experiments, the authors present evidence that honeybees, like humans, non-human primates, and birds, represent small quantities on one side of space and large quantities on the other side of space.
