Meeting Abstract 71-4 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:45 – 09:00 Investigating the fidelity of learned odor cues in bumblebees SPRAYBERRY, JDH; Muhlenberg College jsprayberry@muhlenberg.edu Observations of floral constancy in bumblebees imply that foraging bumblebees are capable recognizing target flowers from a noisy background of non-target flowers. Indeed, making a target flower more recognizable by increasing its variability from […]
