Hymenopteran Group Foraging and Information Transfer about Resources
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 11:24 authored by Felipe Andrés León Contrera, Margaret J Couvillon, James Charles Nieh“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it [1].” In social insects, discovery of a resource is often coupled with communication of this discovery to nestmates in order to exploit fully the resource before competitors find it or it is naturally depleted. Although it may seem simple, this process of information transfer is influenced by several factors, both intrinsic to the colonies and individuals (e.g., satiation status, the perception of colony’s food storage)and external factors (e.g., climatological conditions, available sources at the moment of foraging), which also interact with each other. This special issue explores some aspects of the regulation of foraging, recruitment behavior, and information transfer in Hymenopteran species, and it is divided into three sections: (1) the regulation of foraging by intrinsic factors, (2) the regulation of foraging by external factors, and (3) the regulation of recruitment.
