Comparison of Two Nectar Field Sampling Methods on Three Plant Species from the Family Ranunculaceae

Diversity
Research on floral nectar quantity and composition is increasingly frequent, yet existing studies predominantly focus on plant species with larger flowers that yield abundant nectar.

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.

How scent and nectar influence floral antagonists and mutualists [PDF]

, 2020
Many plants attract and reward pollinators with floral scents and nectar, respectively, but these traits can also incur fitness costs as they also attract herbivores.

The Role of Phenotypic Plasticity and Within‐Environment Trait Variability in the Assembly of the Nectar Microbiome and Plant–Microbe–Animal Interactions

Ecology and Evolution
The study of the rules that govern the relationship between phenotypic plasticity, genetic structure, and ecological success has traditionally focused on animals, plants, and a few model microbial species, whereas non‐model microorganisms have received ...

figure S3. Sugar concentrations in floral nectar from Low-level ethanol is widespread within floral nectar

Average sugar concentrations of floral nectar for 29 angiosperm species arranged according to phylogenetic relatedness [77]. Green branches on the phylogeny refer to monocot species, and orange branches refer to eudicot species. Groups of species are classified into clades as indicated by gray alternating with white shading, as labeled at the bottom of

Reproductive Biology and Ecology of the Endemic New Zealand Tree Ixerba brexioides (tāwari) [PDF]

, 2013
This research investigated the ecology of Ixerba brexioides (tāwari) with regard to pollination, breeding strategy, seed biology, and forest composition. Research was focused around three main questions: 1. How is tāwari pollinated with regard to vector

Heavy metal and metalloid contamination of nectar: Sources, ecological implications, and methods of analysis

Environmental and Experimental Botany
Pollination is among the most vital interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, yet it is increasingly under threat. One emerging concern is the contamination of nectar, the primary floral reward, with heavy metals and metalloids. Unlike other floral tissues,
