Chapter 55.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To describe: The method that can be used to test the type of spatial landmarks that are used by the female digger wasps.
Introduction: The movement of an organism involves the response to a stimulus. Female digger wasps (Philanthus triangulum) use memory and landmarks to aid their local movement. Niko Tinbergen was the scientist, who studied the behavior of wasps in relocating the nest after spending considerable time away.
