Abstract

A new study investigates how stingless bee colonies inherit one of two architecturally distinct types of comb and proposes the primary mechanism of inheritance as stigmergy: among-individual coordination in comb building informed by environmental cues (i.e., social artefacts). These findings highlight the importance of social information in creating and maintaining architectural variance among structures.

动物结构的变异：基因、环境和文化。

一项新的研究调查了无刺蜂群是如何从两种不同结构类型的蜂巢中继承一种蜂巢的，并提出了遗传的主要机制是stigmergy：在环境线索（即社会人工制品）的影响下，个体间协调建造蜂巢。这些发现凸显了社会信息在创造和维持不同结构间建筑差异方面的重要性。
