Animals do not always perform to the best of their abilities when faced with difficult choices. New findings on foraging honeybees show that co-existing strategies, where some individuals place more emphasis on accuracy and others on speed, can be advantageous to the colony in a variable environment.
当面临艰难抉择时,动物并不总是能发挥出最佳能力。关于觅食蜜蜂的新发现表明,共存策略(即一些个体更注重准确性,而另一些个体更注重速度)在多变的环境中对蜂群可能是有利的。
