• Crab spiders affect flower visitation by bees (2003, background): “Moreover, previous experiments have documented high sensitivity of honeybees to perceived danger at flowers (Dukas 2001a) and avoidance of spider webs by stingless bees (Trigona flu i entris) (Craig 1994).”
• Beneficial effects of flower-dwelling predators on their host plant (2004, background): “However, other studies have shown that spiders or artificial models of spiders can prey upon (e.g., Morse and Fritz 1982, Morse 1993, 1999) or repel pollinators (Bristowe 1958, Dukas 2001) or change the floral architecture so as to impede their access (Ott et al. 1998).”
• The Ancient Chemistry of Avoiding Risks of Predation and Disease (2009, background): “Bees avoid flowers where conspecifics may have been killed ( Dukas 2001; Abbott 2006) or those treated with extracts of conspecific body parts (Stout et al. 1998).”
• Piper: A Model Genus for Studies of Phytochemistry, Ecology, and Evolution (2004, background): “1Experiment described in Dyer and Letourneau (1999a); data from unfertilized plants. 2Experiment described in Letourneau and Dyer (1998b); data from ultisols.”
• Mortality rates of honey bees in the wild (2008, background): “It is likely that both the age-independent and age dependent mortality rates are caused primarily by predation (Dukas, 2001b ), with the age-dependent factor increasing exponentially owing to physiological and mechanical deterioration.”
• A mutualism's indirect costs: the most aggressive plant bodyguards also deter pollinators (2006, background): “This benefit may be maximized if foragers avoid flower patches (individual plants) where predation risk is high, or has been high in the past (Dukas 2001, Dukas and Morse 2003).”
• The effects of predation risk from crab spiders on bee foraging behavior (2006, background): “…patch level (where a patch contains many plants or flowers) (Dukas and Morse 2003; Dukas 2005; Dukas et al. 2005), but it is quite possible that pollinators respond to risk through the modification of behavior only at the scale of the individual plant or flower (Dukas 2001a; Dukas and Morse 2003).”
