Synopsis

This special volume of Entomologia Generalis, guest-edited by Professor Lars Chittka, London, is dedicated to Pollinator Behaviour and Plant-Insect Interactions. It contains seventeen peer-reviewed contributions by 43 specialists in this field worldwide. It will be supplemented by another single issue 30(2) on the same subject to include an additional six papers. This thematic triple issue highlights some of the interesting aspects and current findings of research in pollinator behaviour and plant-insect interactions. It not only addresses specialists in the field of sensory and behavioural research on insects, but also provides useful hints for pollination practitioners in agriculture and those responsible in conservation technology. Objects of research are predominantly social insects e.g. honey bees, bumblebees, and paperwasps, but also beetles and butterflies. All papers deepen our understanding of how insects interact with their environments through their senses and modes of behaviour. They cover various aspects, from photoreception and behavioural responses on scent and colour of flowers and leaves to the analysis of odour mixtures or other volatile components and seasonal or ecological colour changes and ranges. Further ones deal with memory dynamics and decision making, as well as evolutionary aspects of dance communication and relationships between crop loading and ambient temperature, flower constancy on insect visitation rates, and predator-prey relations.

Die extrem subtilen und höchst wichtigen Wechselbeziehungen (Interaktionen) von Pflanzen und Insekten nehmen in den letzten Jahren einen in bedeutendem Maße wachsenden Anteil an den entomologischen Forschungen ein. Naheliegenderweise legt auch eine solche, international hoch angesehene Zeitschrift – zusätzlich zu einer Anzahl von in „normalen“ Einzelheften publizierten Beiträgen zu diesem Thema – hiermit einen ganzen Sonderband vor und gewann dazu einen herausragenden Gast-Herausgeber. Der Band enthält 17 in englischer Sprache verfasste Einzel-Artikel, an denen insgesamt 43 Spezialisten aus aller Welt beteiligt sind. Selbstverständlicherweise sind dabei die Manuskripte allesamt auf höchstem Niveau begutachtet. In Aussicht gestellt ist zudem ein zusätzlicher Sonderband zum gleichen Thema, der weitere sechs Arbeiten enthalten und als Heft 30 (2) der Entomologia Generalis erscheinen soll.

Die einzelnen Artikel widmen sich folgenden Themen: (1) Blattfarben von Wirtsund Nichtwirtspflanzen im Wahrnehmungsbereich des Kartoffelkäfers (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [DÖRING & SKORUPSKI]; (2) Sinnesökologie der Futteraufnahme des Taubenschwänzchens Macroglossum stellatarum (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [KELBER&BALKENIUS]; (3) Modifikation der angeborenen Antennen-Reaktion an Blütenmalen bei erfahrenen Erdhummeln, Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [POHL&LUNAU]; (4) Unterscheidungslernen von aus Farbe und Geruch zusammengesetzten Reizen bei der Wegwespen-Art Mischocyttarus flavitarsis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Pompilinae) [MCPHERON&MILLS]; (5) Einfluß der Umgebungstemperatur auf die Sammelladung der Honigbiene Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [AFIK & SHAFIR]; (6) Verhalten von unerfahrenen Hummeln gegenüber der räumlichen Angebotsverteilung von Nektar (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [TANEYHILL & THOMSON]; (7) Senkung der Besuchsraten von Honigbienen (Apis mellifera) an einzelnen Blütenständen des Lavendels (Lavandula stoechas) bei Entfernung farbiger Tragblätter (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [HIGGINSON, GILBERT, READER & BARNARD]; (8) Blütenstetigkeit und Gedächtnisdynamik bei Hummeln (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) [RAINE & CHITTKA]; (9) Altersabhängige Datenerhebung von Nahrungsquellen durch erfolglos futtersuchende Hummeln (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) [KEASAR, GOUBITZ&SHMIDA]; (10) Lernleistung nahrungssammelnder Hummeln (Bombus terrestris) bei Manipulation der Intervalle zwischen Blütenbesuchen (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [KEASAR, FERSHTMAN, FOROTAN & SHMIDA]; (11) Soziale Organisation und Bestäubungsleistung bei der HolzbieneXylocopa pubescens (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Anthophorinae) [KEASAR, SADEH, SHILO & ZIV]; (12) Einfluß von Bienen-Arten unterschiedlicher Verhaltensweise (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) auf den Pollentransport in Beständen von Senf, Brassica rapa (Brassicaceae), und Zuckermelone, Cucumis melo (Cucurbitaceae) [GOODELL &THOMSON]; (13) Adaptiver Farbwechsel bei Blüten der Schöterich-Art Erysimum scoparium (Brassicaceae) und Bestäubungsverhalten der Pelzbienen-Art Anthophora alluadii auf Teneriffa (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [OLLERTON, GRACE & SMITH]; (14)Blütenfarbe, Nektarmenge und Blütenbesuche von Schmetterlingen in einem alpinen Lebensraum in Zentraleuropa (Lepidoptera) [NEUMAYER & SPAETHE]; (15) Hypothesen zur adaptiven oder nicht-adaptiven Richtungsmissweisung beim Schwänzeltanz der Honigbiene (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Apis mellifera [GARDNER, Hexapoda („Insecta“ s. l.) 693 SEELEY&CALDERONE]; (16) Vorläufige Studie über den Gebrauch flüchtiger Substanzen im Stock durch futtersuchende Honigbienen (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Apis mellifera) [THOM & DORNHAUS], und schließlich (17) Auswirkung der Gruppengröße auf die Entwicklung der Ovarien bei Hummel-Arbeiterinnen (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus impatiens) [CNAANI, WONG&THOMSON].

Hoffentlich gibt die Entomologia Generalis auch künftig Sonderbände heraus, die sich besonderen Themen zuwenden! Ein paläoentomologischer Band ist schon in Vorbereitung.
