Guarding Vibrations—<i>Axestotrigona ferruginea</i> Produces Vibrations When Encountering Non-Nestmates
Flower visiting stingless bees store collected pollen and nectar for times of scarcity. This stored food is of high value for the colony and should be protected against con- and heterospecifics that might rob them. There should be high selective pressure on the evolution of mechanisms to discriminat...
