We assessed how individual foraging preferences and cognitive performance affect foraging bout interval and the flexibility of foraging behavior in the nectarivorous Green-backed Firecrown (Sephanoides sephaniodes). Our ...

Foraging behavior in termites varies with the feeding habits of each species but often occurs through the formation of well-defined trails that connect the nest to food sources in species that build structured nests. We ...

The German yellowjacket Vespula germanica (F.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), an invasive wasp, is a highly efficient forager. We studied wasp cognitive ability while varying landmark disposition and cue conspicuity. Learning ...
