DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.05.013
Abstract: Eavesdropping is predicted to evolve between sympatric, but not allopatric, predator and prey. The evolutionary arms race between Asian honey bees and their hornet predators has led to a remarkable defence, heat balling, which suffocates… read more here.
