Suction feeding in orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini) [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004
Energy flux during nectar feeding is maximized at an intermediate sugar concentration, the value of which depends on the morphology of the feeding apparatus and the modality of fluid feeding. Biomechanical models predict that a shift from capillary-based lapping to suction feeding will lead to a decrease in this optimal sugar concentration.

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,
