总结
我们对随机选取的野生和栽培花卉的颜色在昆虫和人类可见光谱中的光谱结构进行了定量摄影测量。调查结果表明，大多数昆虫授粉的花朵都有花蜜向导，其中有三种类型被确认。对花蜜向导和花瓣之间的对比分析表明，它们显然在昆虫可见光谱中最明显。品种被发现有一个显着较低的发病率花蜜指南，也显然更明显地在人类可见光谱。这些结果进行了讨论有关可能的花的颜色适应昆虫传粉吸引力。
SUMMARY
A quantitative photographic survey was made of the spectral structure of the colours of a random selection of wild and cultivated flowers, in the insect and human visible spectra. The survey revealed that the majority of insect-pollinated flowers possessed nectar guides, of which three types were recognized. Analysis of the contrasts between the nectar guides and the petals revealed that they were apparently most conspicuous in the insect-visible spectrum. Cultivars were found to have a significantly lower incidence of nectar guides and were also apparently more conspicuous in the human visible spectrum. These results were discussed in relation to possible floral colour adaptation to insect pollinator attraction.
