Document Summary
If so, this could account for the longer travel time than expected. However, only 2 out 19 recruits actually found the feeding station. In sum, the waggle dance is a behavioral signal that allows individuals to travel to the area of a distant food source, but bees then use odors to find the food itself. Minimum frequency and dominant frequency were negatively correlated with tree density that is, they were lower in sites with more trees. For example: only the largest male with the longest sound-producing structure can produce the lowest frequency vocalizations. These are accurate signal indicators of male size: signals may be accurate indicators because they are costly to produce and maintain. For example: long horn of the beetles, and long tail length of the peacocks are costly to produce and maintain, so only the best males will possess the largest, most extreme form of these traits.
