Constructing a Stochastic Model of Bumblebee Flights from Experimental Data
Figure 5
Schematics of the dependence of on speed
.
Assuming a constant maximal force (circle) available to the bumblebee to accelerate during a time step, the distribution of the turning angle depends on the previous speed
. Illustrated is the change from large angles for low speeds (left) to a stronger concentration around
for higher speeds (right).
