• Chronic impairment of bumblebee natural foraging behaviour induced by sublethal pesticide exposure (2014, background): “…innate prefer- ence for specific flower types or colours (Raine & Chittka 2007b) and/or could be impairing their ability to find flow- ers, associate floral cues (as predictors of reward) or learn the motor skills required to handle specific flower types (Raine et al. 2006; Raine & Chittka 2008).”
• Flower colours along an alpine altitude gradient, seen through the eyes of fly and bee pollinators (2009, background): “This could apply regardless of whether the colour association is based on innate preferences (Lunau and Maier 1995) or the result of pollinators learning which flowers are most suitable for them (Raine et al. 2006), given flower morphology and rewards.”
• Genetic Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (2016, background): “[35] put forward that the animals’ foraging behavior could be better explained by its evolutionary history, rather than their present foraging conditions.”
• The dynamics of social learning in an insect model, the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) (2007, background): “Insects typically have unlearned preferences for certain colors and shapes over others (Lehrer et al. 1995; Lunau and Maier 1995; Kelber 2002; Chittka and Wells 2004; Raine et al. 2006) possibly as an evolutionary response to higher nectar concentrations (Menzel and Shmida 1993; Giurfa et al.”
• A population comparison of the strength and persistence of innate colour preference and learning speed in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris (2009, methodology): “Learning curves were fitted to the 11 points (starting level and 10 choice bins) for all individual bees, using a first order exponential decay function (y = y0+Ae −x/t) in Microcal Origin® (Raine et al. 2006b).”
