Impulsive bees forage better: the advantage of quick, sometimes inaccurate foraging decisions (2005, background): “…variable of interest in tests of learning rate (e.g. bees: Menzel 1967; Dukas & Real 1991; Dukas & Waser 1994; Wittstock & Menzel 1994; Dukas 1995; Kunze & Gumbert 2001; Ney-Nifle et al. 2001; Cnaani et al. 2003; Paldi et al. 2003; hummingbirds: Brown & Gass 1993; Sutherland & Gass 1995;…”
Flower Choice and Learning in Foraging Bumblebees: Effects of Variation in Nectar Volume and Concentration (2006, methodology): “Flowers of the first type (rows 1 and 3) were marked by 2 ll of geranium oil (G) diluted 1:200 in pentane (after Kunze & Gumbert 2001).”
Synergy between visual and olfactory cues in nectar feeding by naı̈ve hawkmoths, Manduca sexta (2002, unknown): “Nevertheless, experiments with artificial flowers demonstrate that odour enhances colour discrimination, memory formation and retrieval by Bombus terrestris (Kunze & Gumbert 2001).”
Variation in sexual reproduction in orchids and its evolutionary consequences: a spasmodic journey to diversification (2004, methodology): “With the partial exception of the Ophrys model (Ayasse et al., 2000), we are unaware of any deceptive species with a fragrance that mimics that of a rewarding model (Nilsson, 1980; Kunze & Gumbert, 2001).”
The evolution of floral scent: the influence of olfactory learning by insect pollinators on the honest signalling of floral rewards (2009, background): “Importantly, pollinators such as bees learn odours and remember them for longer than visual cues (Menzel 1985, 1991; Gould 1996; Kunze & Gumbert 2001).”
Consequences of a nectar yeast for pollinator preference and performance (2017, background): “Bumblebees are capable of dis- criminating among flowers that differ in a variety of traits, including temperature, scent and nectar sugar concentra- tion and composition (Kunze & Gumbert 2001; Cnaani, Thomson & Papaj 2006; Dyer et al. 2006; Mommaerts, W€ackers & Smagghe 2013).”
Relationship of visual and olfactory signal parameters in a food-deceptive flower mimicry system (2005, background): “In addition to allowing long-distance odor ''hitch-hiking,'' weaker odor cues may make inhibitory learning and a later avoidance behavior more difficult for the flower visitors (Dafni, 1984; Heinrich, 1975, 1979; Kunze and Gumbert, 2001).”
Forget-me-not: Complex floral displays, inter-signal interactions, and pollinator cognition (2011, background): “unrewarding artificial flowers more quickly when they differ in both color and scent (Kunze and Gumbert, 2001) rather than only color or only scent; bees are also more accurate when flower types differ in both color and shape (Dyer and Chittka, 2004) rather than color alone.”
The sweet smell of success: floral scent affects pollinator attraction and seed fitness in Hesperis matronalis (2009, background): “Floral visitors often prefer scented flowers over unscented ones, translating into increased pollinator approaches or landings (Knudsen et al. 1999; Kunze & Gumbert 2001; Raguso & Willis 2002; Schiestl 2004; Ashman et al .”
Working Towards a Holistic View on Flower Traits— How Floral Scents Mediate Plant-Animal Interactions in Concert with Other Floral Characters (2015, background): “Similarly, bumblebees challenged with discrimination tasks succeeded best if both olfactory and visual cues were presented compared to trials where only one trait was available.(157,158) These lab-based findings are mirrored in field studies showing that scent and colour jointly affect flower visita”
