Artificial flowers as a tool for investigating multimodal flower choice in wild insects
<p>Flowers come in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes, and odours. Flowers also differ in the quality and quantity of nutritional rewards they provide to entice potential pollinators to visit. Given this diversity, generalist flower-visiting insects face the considerable challenge of deciding which flowers to feed on and which to ignore.</p> <p>Working with real flowers poses logistical challenges due to correlations between flower traits, maintenance costs, and uncontrolled variables. Here we overcome this challenge by designing multi-modal artificial flowers that varied in visual, olfactory, and reward attributes. We used artificial flowers to investigate the impact of seven floral attributes (three visual cues, two olfactory cues, and two rewarding attributes) on flower visitation and species richness. We investigated how flower attributes influenced two phases of the decision-making process: the decision to land on a flower, and the decision to feed on a flower.</p> <p>Artificial flowers attracted 890 individual insects representing 15 morphospecies spanning seven arthropod orders. Honeybees were the most common visitors accounting for 46% of visitors. Higher visitation rates were driven by the presence of nectar, the presence of linalool, flower shape, and flower colour, and was negatively impacted by the presence of citral. Species richness was driven by the presence of nectar, the presence of linalool, and flower colour. For hymenopterans, the probability of landing the artificial flowers was influenced by the presence of nectar or pollen, shape, and the presence of citral and/or linalool. The probability of feeding increased when flowers contained nectar. For dipterans, the probability of landing on artificial flowers increased when the flower was yellow and contained linalool. The probability of feeding increased when flowers contained pollen, nectar, and linalool.</p> <p>Our results demonstrate the multi-attribute nature of flower preferences and highlight the usefulness of artificial flowers as tools for studying flower visitation in wild insects.</p>
