The evolution of floral scent: the influence of olfactory learning by insect pollinators on the honest signalling of floral rewards
GA Wright, FP Schiestl - Functional Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The evolution of flowering plants has undoubtedly been influenced by a pollinator's ability to
learn to associate floral signals with food. Here, we address the question of 'why'flowers …

Aversive reinforcement improves visual discrimination learning in free-flying honeybees
Background Learning and perception of visual stimuli by free-flying honeybees has been
shown to vary dramatically depending on the way insects are trained. Fine color …

Toxic but drank: gustatory aversive compounds induce post-ingestional malaise in harnessed honeybees
A Ayestaran, M Giurfa, MG de Brito Sanchez - PLoS One, 2010 - journals.plos.org
