• Floral diversity and the facilitation of pollination (2006, background): “Of course many pollinators can and do discriminate among flowers (Thomson 1981; Thomson & Chittka 2001), but if discrimination is partial (i.e. pollinators are generalists but tend to show preferences to particular floral types), then pollination of rare, or less rewarding, species may be enhanced…”
• Effects of floral display size and plant density on pollinator visitation rate in a natural population of Digitalis purpurea (2005, unknown): “The relationship was slightly accelerating, whereas most earlier studies have found this relation to be decelerating (reviewed by Iwasa, de Jong & Klinkhamer 1995; Ohashi & Yahara 2001).”
• The effect of learning and search images on predator–prey interactions (2009, background): “For insect species, much of the information on foraging learning dynamics (short-term and long-term memory) comes from studies of the honey bee (Menzel 1985, 2001; Chittka and Thomson 2005).”
• Co-flowering neighbors influence the diversity and identity of pollinator groups visiting plant species. (2009, background): “Although this merging has already begun (Chittka and Thomson 2001; empirical studies: Kunin 1993, Aldridge and Campbell 2007, Hersch and Roy 2007; theoretical models: Kunin and Iwasa 1996, Rodrı́guez-Gironés and Santamaria 2004), it is still far from complete.”
• Floral volatiles play a key role in specialized ant pollination (2014, background): “…that help guide insects to the flowers and favour pollination are consequently expected to play an important role in the ecology and evolutionary diversification of plant-pollinator interactions (Raguso, 2001; Fenster et al., 2004; Peakall et al., 2010; Schiestl, 2010; Schäffler 15 et al., 2012).”
