Food load manipulation ability shapes flight morphology in females of central-place foraging Hymenoptera

BACKGROUND: Ecological constraints related to foraging are expected to affect the evolution of morphological traits relevant to food capture, manipulation and transport. Females of central-place foraging Hymenoptera vary in their food load manipulation ability. Bees and social wasps modulate the amo...
