Recognition of flowers by pollinators

L Chittka, NE Raine - Current opinion in plant biology, 2006 - Elsevier
The flowers of angiosperm plants present us with a staggering diversity of signal designs,

Deception in plants: mimicry or perceptual exploitation?

HM Schaefer, GD Ruxton - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2009 - cell.com
Mimicry involves adaptive resemblance between a mimic and a model. However, despite
much recent research, it remains contentious in plants. Here, we review recent progress on …

Flower choice and learning in foraging bumblebees: effects of variation in nectar volume and concentration

J Cnaani, JD Thomson, DR Papaj - Ethology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Bees collect food from flowers that differ in morphology, color, and scent. Nectar‐seeking
foragers can rapidly associate a flower's cues with its profitability, measured as caloric value …

Behavioral, ecological, and physiological determinants of the activity patterns of bees

PG Willmer, GN Stone - Advances in the Study of Behavior, 2004 - books.google.com
An activity pattern is the change in levels of a particular activity through time. Activity pattern
data form the basis of much of behavioral ecology for two simple reasons. First, they tell us …

Adaptive learning and risk taking.

J Denrell - Psychological review, 2007 - psycnet.apa.org

A critical review of risk‐sensitive foraging

AI Houston, TH Rosenström - Biological Reviews, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
