Insects, such as bumblebees, have a time and engergy budget when harvesting nectar.
|
Consider the way in which bumblebees
optimize the search for nectar, butterflies
adapt the speed at which they fly, and
chamois survive harsh alpine winters:
it is only by dispensing with any luxury
that a creature can gain the critical advantage
in the genetic battle, which ultimately
results in a larger number of offspring and
the long-term survival of the fittest.
