本文回顾了有关花蜜指南的生态和进化影响的常见假设。我们根据昆虫视觉感知、识别和数据处理（如颜色、形状和图案）的最新发现和理论来研究花卉指南的自然展示。考虑到蜜蜂的色觉在被子植物进化时也存在（Chittka 1996），假设花的颜色和图案信号（包括花导）是作为昆虫预先存在的神经生理机制对被子植物的反应而进化的，而不是作为一个密切的共同进化过程。
The present article reviews the common hypotheses concerning the ecological and evolutionary implications of nectar guides. We examine the natural display of floral guides in relation to the recent findings and theories on the visual perception, recognition and data processing of insects as related to colours, shape and pattern. Taking into consideration that the colour vision of bees was also present when the angiosperme evolved (Chittka 1996), it is assumed that the floral colour and pattern signals (including floral guides) evolved as a response to the angiosperme of the insect’s pre-existing neurophysiological mechanisms rather than as a close co-evolutionary process.
