A spatial network analysis of resource partitioning between bumblebees foraging on artificial flowers in a flight cage

Abstract Background Individual bees exhibit complex movement patterns to efficiently exploit small areas within larger plant populations. How such individual spatial behaviours scale up to the collective level, when several foragers visit a common area, has remained challenging to investigate, both...
