Effects of neighboring plants on herbivore damage to a focal plant (associational effects)
have been documented in many systems and can lead to either increased or decreased …

Much of the literature on foraging behaviour in bees focuses on what they learn after they
have had rewarded experience with flowers. This review focuses on how honeybees and …

Public information is an emerging major topic in ecology and evolution. We review the
literature about the role of public information in ecology and conservation while mainly …

Many animals, including insects, make decisions using both personally gathered information
and social information derived from the behavior of other, usually conspecific, individuals [1] …

In the absence of predators, pollinators can often maximize their foraging success by visiting
the most rewarding flowers. However, if predators use those highly rewarding flowers to …

To understand the relative benefits of social and personal information use in foraging
decisions, we developed an agent-based model of social learning that predicts social …

Animal Creativity and Innovation explores theories and research on animal innovation and

mutualisms, plants signal pollinators via floral displays, composed of olfactory, visual, and …

Natural selection should lead animals to use social cues (SC) when they are useful, and
disregard them when they are not. Theoretical investigation predicts that individuals should …

Caffeine and ethanol are naturally occurring compounds in floral nectar. We examined how
these compounds influenced pollinator behaviors including floral preference, floral …
