Diverse pollination systems of the twin-spurred orchid genus Satyrium in African grasslands [PDF]
, 2013 The large terrestrial orchid genus Satyrium underwent evolutionary radiations in the Cape floral region and the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa. These radiations were accompanied by tremendous diversification of the unusual twin-spurred flowers

Drought response and urban-pollinator attractiveness of ornamental plant species
Basic and Applied EcologyFaced with pollinator declines, cities could serve as refuges for biodiversity conservation by managing floral resources in public green spaces. Ornamental plants could play an important role in attracting pollinators because they form part of urban ...

Is there a diel pattern to nectar secretion in the Red Bloodwood Corymbia gummifera? [PDF]
, 2013 Nectar secretion was measured at 6-h intervals over a 24-h period in flowers of the Red Bloodwood, Corymbia gummifera (family Myrtaceae). Secretion varied among time periods and among trees. There was no clear diurnal or nocturnal pattern.

Ant-Pollinator Conflict Results in Pollinator Deterrence but no Nectar Trade-Offs
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Direct and indirect negative interactions between ant guards and pollinators on ant-plants are expected for two reasons. First, aggressive ants may deter pollinators directly.
