Context affects nestmate recognition errors in honey bees and stingless bees [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013
Summary Nestmate recognition studies, where a discriminator first recognises and then behaviourally discriminates (accept/reject) another individual, have used a variety of methodologies and contexts. This is potentially problematic because recognition errors in discrimination behaviour are predicted to be context-dependent.
