Wild bees preferentially visit Rudbeckia flower heads with exaggerated ultraviolet absorbing floral guides
Here, we report on the results of an experimental study that assessed the visitation frequency of wild bees to conspecific flowers with different sized floral guides. UV absorbent floral guides are ubiquitous in Angiosperms, yet surprisingly little is known about conspecific variation in these guide...
