Chromatic and achromatic vision: parameter choice and limitations for reliable model predictions
Many animals use vision to detect, discriminate, or recognize important objects such as prey,
predators, homes, or mates. These objects may differ in color and brightness—having …

Assessment of pollen rewards by foraging bees
E Nicholls, N Hempel de Ibarra - Functional Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The removal of pollen by flower‐visiting insects is costly to plants, not only in terms of
production, but also via lost reproductive potential. Modern angiosperms have evolved …
