Caution with colour calculations: spectral purity is a poor descriptor of flower colour visibility

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Casper J., van der and Johannes, Spaethe from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the Article: Caution with colour calculations: spectral purity is a poor descriptor of flower colour visibility, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors evaluate the theoretical framework, common calculation procedures and behavioural evidence of spectral purity and chroma of flowers as predictors for visibility to bee pollinators. The analysis showed that colour contrast and spectral purity are highly correlated, for honeybees, bumblebees and stingless bees (Fig 3).
• how: Excluding studies based on fewer than 15 stimuli (e_g Gumbert 2000 Papiorek . . .
