Because most plants rely on animals for pollination, insights from animal sensory ecology
and behavior are essential for understanding the evolution of flowers. In this review, we …

The recognition that animals sense the world in a different way than we do has unlocked
important lines of research in ecology and evolutionary biology. In practice, the subjective …

Müllerian mimicry among Neotropical Heliconiini butterflies is an excellent example of
natural selection, associated with the diversification of a large continental-scale radiation …

Mimicry is a classic example of adaptation through natural selection. The traditional focus of
mimicry research has been on defence in animals, but there is now also a highly-developed …

Research in the honeybee has laid the foundations for our understanding of insect colour
vision. The trichromatic colour vision of honeybees shares fundamental properties with …

Communication is an essential factor underpinning the interactions between species and
the structure of their communities. Plant-animal interactions are particularly diverse due to …

Mimicry involves adaptive resemblance between a mimic and a model. However, despite
much recent research, it remains contentious in plants. Here, we review recent progress on …

It is now 130 years since Fritz Müller proposed an evolutionary explanation for the close
similarity of co-existing unpalatable prey species, a phenomenon now known as Müllerian …

Existem visitantes florais que coletam recursos em flores sem realizar polinização, e
também há espécies de plantas que atraem polinizadores sem oferecer qualquer recurso. A …

Bees discriminate between many different colours of flower petals, but it is not well
understood how they perceive and learn patterns frequently found in flowers with colourful …
