Shape matters: corolla curvature improves nectary discovery in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta
I measured the effects of variation in corolla curvature and nectary aperture radius on pollinator foraging ability using the hawkmoth Manduca sexta and 3D-printed artificial flowers whose shapes were mathematically specified. In dimorphic arrays containing trumpet-shaped flowers and flat-disk flowers, hawkmoths were able ...
