Nectar and pollen in Acer trees can contribute to improvement of food resources for pollinators

Scientific Reports
In the present study, we quantified floral resources (nectar and pollen production) and their quality (nectar sugar composition, pollen protein content, pollen amino acid composition) in five Acer species (f.

Impact of Domestication on Floral Traits and Rewards: A Comparison Between Wild and Domesticated Squash (Cucurbita)

Ecology and Evolution
Plant domestication primarily targets traits of direct human interest, such as fruit and seed characteristics; however, its indirect effects on other traits, including floral morphology and rewards (nectar and pollen), remain less understood.

The unique mouse pollination in an orchid species [PDF]

, 2008
The Chinese orchid, _Cymbidium serratum_, is pollinated by the wild mountain mouse _Rattus fulvescens_. The flowers use both odor and colour as attractants, and provide labellum as food reward for the pollinators.

Environmental cues rather than quality of supplemented pollen drive the foraging behaviour of honey bees during avocado pollination

Scientific Reports
Honey bee colonies adapt their foraging behaviours to the availability of floral resources to meet their nutritional needs. However, it is unknown if the nutritional quality of stored or supplemented pollen can influence the floral choices of bees during

Biología floral y polinizadores de Trichocereus pasacana (Cactaceae) en el Parque Nacional Los Cardones, Argentina

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2001
Se estudió la floración y polinización de Thrichocereus pasacana en Los Cardones (Salta, Argentina). La mayor prducción de néctar es de las 18 a las 24hs y las abejas Xylocopa sp. actúan como polinizadores.Many columnar cacti are bat pollinated.
