Sodium‐enriched nectar shapes plant–pollinator interactions in a subalpine meadow [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Sodium concentrations in floral nectar might play an important and underappreciated role in plant–pollinator interactions. In a field experiment, we find that flowers with sodium‐enriched nectar received more than twice as many visits from a greater diversity of pollinator visitors throughout the season with concurrent shifts in dietary breadth and ...
