A killjoy perspective on object representation by bumblebees
Résumé
Solvi et al. (1) reported that bumblebees trained to discriminate objects by touch could distinguish them through vision, and vice versa. We argue that this behavioural feat may be explained by egocentric heuristics rather than an abstract representation of object shapes. We call for more considerations of animals’ ecology, neural circuitry and actual behaviours.
