Bumblebee social learning outcomes correlate with their flower-facing behaviour

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: The authors provide empirical behavioural evidence corroborating these theoretical propositions, suggesting that the outcomes of social learning in bumblebees may be a function of the frequency of observation incidences: increased observation of socially rewarding stimuli or decreased observation of non-rewarding stimuli can enhance the likelihood of bumblebees copying demonstrator`s colour choices. By quantifying the observation process, the authors provide empirical support showing how bees generalise to the unoccupied flowers and that the degree of generalisation correlates with their learning outcomes.
  • Who: Yuyi Lu and collaborators from the Department of Psychiatry, Zhujiang Hospital . . .
