Bees and angiosperms have shared a long and intertwined evolutionary history and their
interactions have resulted in remarkable adaptations. Yet, at a time when the “pollination …

Pigmentation patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Visually striking pigmentation patterns are
not only aesthetically appealing, but also crucial to pollinator interaction and plant fitness …

In addition to their well-documented beneficial effects on plant physiological processes,
anthocyanins have also been proposed to function in a diverse array of plant/animal …

Flowering plants in Australia have been geographically isolated for more than 34 million
years. In the Northern Hemisphere, previous work has revealed a close fit between the …

The diversity and abundance of insect pollinators are declining. This decline reduces the
potential ecosystem services of pollination for wild and cultivated plants. Specific agri …

This paper comprises Part II of a review of flower visitation and pollination by Diptera
(myiophily or myophily). While Part I examined taxonomic diversity of anthophilous flies …

In the eusocial bumblebees, distinct size variation occurs within the worker caste of a colony.
We show that there are pronounced differences in compound eye optical quality between …

Climate change is driving species' range shifts, which are in turn disrupting species
interactions due to species‐specific differences in their abilities to migrate in response to …

Karl von Frisch's studies of bees' color vision and chemical senses opened a window into
the perceptual world of a species other than our own. A century of subsequent research on …

The quality of visual information that is available to an animal is limited by the size of its
eyes. Differences in eye size can be observed even between closely related individuals, yet …
