Internidal drifting of workers in the Japanese paper waspPolistes chinensis antennalis (Vespidae; Hymenoptera)
Tóm tắt
Some workers of the Japanese paper wasp,Polistes chinensis antennalis Pérez drifted from the maternal nests to other nests. Some of these workers performed tasks for nests they had drifted in. One possible cause of drifting should be errors in the memory of terrains around the nests by these workers.
