A new study shows that bumblebees learn socially, and this resulted in a novel behavior becoming dominant across a group. These findings highlight the opportunity going forward to use social insects to address how simple cognitive mechanisms can underpin the development of complex behavioral phenomena.
一项新的研究表明,大黄蜂具有社会性学习能力,这导致一种新的行为在整个群体中占据主导地位。这些发现强调了未来利用社会性昆虫来研究简单认知机制如何支持复杂行为现象发展的机会。
