Scientific Reports, 2022 Annual plants allocate soil nutrients to floral display and pollinator rewards to ensure pollination success in a single season. Nitrogen and phosphorus are critical soil nutrients whose levels are altered by intensive land use that may affect plants ...

Historical contingency in species interactions: towards niche-based predictions. [PDF]
, 2013 The way species affect one another in ecological communities often depends on the order of species arrival. The magnitude of such historical contingency, known as priority effects, varies across species and environments, but this variation has proven ...

Chronic intake of fermented floral nectar by wild treeshrews [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 For humans alcohol consumption often has devastating consequences. Wild mammals may also be behaviorally and physiologically challenged by alcohol in their food. Here, we provide a detailed account of chronic alcohol intake by mammals as part of a coevolved relationship with a plant.

The Campsis-Icterus association as a model system for avian nectar-robbery studies
Scientific Reports, 2022 Avian nectar-robbing is common in some floras but its impact on plant-pollinator mutualisms, flowering phenology, and the evolution of floral traits remains largely unexplored.

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]
, 2018 Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Most pollinators visit flowers in the search of nectar rewards. However, as the floral nectar can often not be directly detected by pollinators, many flower visitors use secondary metabolites such as odor- or taste-proxies to anticipate nectar quantity ...

Nectar-dwelling microbes of common tansy are attractive to its mosquito pollinator, Culex pipiens L.
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background There is widespread interkingdom signalling between insects and microbes. For example, microbes found in floral nectar may modify its nutritional composition and produce odorants that alter the floral odor bouquet which may attract insect ...

Composition and Host-Use Patterns of a Scarab Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Community Inhabiting the Canopy of a Lowland Tropical Rainforest in Southern Venezuela [PDF]
, 2019 The adult scarab beetle fauna of the canopy in a lowland tropical rainforest in southern Venezuela was observed and collected by means of a 42 m-tall tower crane for a complete year.
