Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Invasion by Impatiens glandulifera rapidly disrupts pollination of the native plant Stachys sylvatica by altering pollen transport by shared bumblebee pollinators. A short‐term field introduction revealed a dramatic decline in conspecific pollen deposition within 4 days, showing that pollination function can collapse quickly following invasion, even ...

The structure of nectaries in the genus Strombocactus (Cactaceae)
Botanical Sciences, 2019 Background: Floral nectar is offered by the plant to its pollinators to promote cross-fertilization. Questions: Are floral nectaries morpho-anatomically similar among the taxa of Strombocactus? What sugars do nectaries offer their pollinators? Studied

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Extrafloral nectaries on Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Pearl millet, Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone (formerly Pennisetum glaucum L.), used for food and feed, has pollen that attracts multiple insect species. In 2023, honey bees and wasps were observed foraging on or below the auricles of pearl millet in a Georgia field.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.
