New Advances in Study of Animal Behavior(I): Foraging in Bees

Mushroom bodies play a central role in spatial navigation and foraging behavior in bees.The researchers found that the mushroom bodies of foragers were 14.8 percent larger than those of the other groups(one-day bees and nurses).This is a particularly striking finding because the relative volume of other nerve clusters in the honeybee brains remained relatively unchanged.Over the last few years,with the explosion of molecular genetic technology,a...
