Intra-dance variation among waggle runs and the design of efficient protocols for honey bee dance decoding
Summary Noise is universal in information transfer. In animal communication, this presents a challenge not only for intended signal receivers, but also to biologists studying the system. In honey bees, a forager communicates to nestmates the location of an important resource via the waggle dance. Th...
