Modeling bee movement shows how a perceptual masking effect can influence flower discovery

Distributions of the four observables, for experimental and simulated data.
Black lines: experimental data. Red lines: model predictions using the optimal γ = 1.0 s−1, σ = 0.37 rad/s1/2, preturn = 1/30 s−1 and η* = 0.2 s-1. Insets: Schematic of each observable. (A) Cumulative distribution function of loop lengths for our full dataset. (B) Same as A, but for the loops extension. (C) Probability distribution of the number of trajectories intersects per 100m traveled. (D) Same as C, but for the number of re-departures per 100 m traveled.
