Zusammenfassung

Currently, no technologies exist that can track insects in theirnatural environment with sufficient resolution to resolve interactionsof these animals with their environment. It is known from laboratorystudies that the visual appearance of landmarks is important formemory-based navigation for species such as bees, wasps, and ants.Field studies have shown that bees learn routes and visit the sameflowers over and over, improving their performance over time. Theimplications of these findings for real-world problems, such as thepotential effects of insecticides on bee navigation, can only beunders...
