蜜蜂采集及其信息传递的行为机制研究进展

蜜蜂的采集行为是蜜蜂众多社会行为中一种较复杂的行为,涉及信息评估、信息传递、学习记忆及能量代谢等不同的行为过程。研究蜜蜂采集及信息交流系统的分子机制,不仅利于蜜蜂的理论研究和蜂产业的发展,还为人类语言及信息交流系统的研究提供借鉴。本文从行为、感觉基础及分子机制等不同研究层面,综述了近年来对蜜蜂采集及信息传递行为的研究进展,并提出了研究设想,以期为深入研究蜜蜂的采集行为及其信息传递行为的分子机制提供参考。

Characterization and mechanism of honeybee foraging behavior

Foraging is one of the most complicated behaviors of honeybees. It includes information evaluation, information transfer, learning and memory, energy metabolism and different foraging processes. Research on the molecular mechanism underlying bee foraging and communication will not only be conducive to theoretical study and the development of the bee industry, but may also provide insights into human language and information exchange systems. This article reviews progress in research on honey bee foraging behavior at the behavioral, sensory and molecular levels, and proposes ideas for new research that could provide a sound basis for the in-depth study of foraging and communicative behavior.
