Signatures of a globally optimal searching strategy in the three-dimensional foraging flights of bumblebees

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mathieu Lihoreau from the DepartmentUniversity of have published the research work: Signatures of a globally optimal searching strategy in the three-dimensional foraging flights of bumblebees, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The authors show that bumblebees consistently used this search strategy across successive foraging bouts and in the presence of flowers of different sizes.
• how: This result is consistent with previous studies in which the manipulation of the optical properties of flowers (size or colour) affected search time of foraging bumblebees because of inherent visual constraints11.
• future . . .
