Optimal foraging in bumblebees and coevolution with their plants
Abstract
The pattern of movements of the bumblebees and the various properties of the plants appear to represent coevolved adaptations and the bumbles' movement patterns appear to be optimal in the sense that they result in the maximum net rate of energy gain to the bumbling.
