9409147 Real This project examines the spatial and temporal structure of nectar distribution in flowers in the field. Spatial structure of resource distribution has usually been ignored in models of pollinator foraging behavior and decision making. In this study the PI's measure the spatial organization of resource variability, and how the pattern changes with time of day. These data will be incorporated into a series of foraging models. This research has potential broad applicability to insect foraging behavior and behavioral ecology. The results may help us better understand how decision-making rules that deal with complex situations are developed in honey bees, bumble bees, and other insects, and generally improve our understanding of animal cognitive psychology.

9409147本项目研究了花蜜在田间花朵中分布的时空结构。在传粉者觅食行为和决策模型中，往往忽略了资源分布的空间结构。在这项研究中，PI衡量了资源变异性的空间组织，以及这种模式是如何随着一天中的时间变化的。这些数据将被整合到一系列觅食模型中。本研究对昆虫觅食行为和行为生态学具有潜在的广泛适用性。这些结果可能有助于我们更好地理解蜜蜂、大黄蜂和其他昆虫是如何制定处理复杂情况的决策规则的，并总体上提高我们对动物认知心理的理解。
