- Adaptation, Genetic Drift, Pleiotropy, and History in the Evolution of Bee Foraging Behavior (2006, background): “correlated characters (Chittka et al., 2001; Amdam et al., 2004), and therefore selection on any of them”
- Flower colours along an alpine altitude gradient, seen through the eyes of fly and bee pollinators (2009, background): “Examples include protecting against desiccation, cold, drought, herbivory or UV damage (Ben-Tal and King 1997; ChalkerScott 1999; Chittka et al. 2001; Fineblum and Rausher 1997; Mori et al. 2005; Warren and Mackenzie 2001), and to other challenges such as herbivory (Johnson et al. 2008), all…”

- Chance and adaptation in the evolution of island bumblebee behaviour (2004, methodology): “Red flowers, therefore, are harder to detect for mainland B. terrestris workers than flowers of other colours (Spaethe et al. 2001).”
- Synergy between visual and olfactory cues in nectar feeding by naı̈ve hawkmoths, Manduca sexta (2002, unknown): “For example, bumblebees readily visit scentless artificial flowers in laboratory assays (Keasar et al. 1997; Chittka et al. 2001), and the voluminous literature on bumblebee foraging (e.g. Heinrich 1976; Plowright & Laverty 1984) rarely mentions floral scent.”
