Concealed floral rewards and the role of experience in floral sonication by bees [PDF]
Animal Behaviour, 2016 Pollinators frequently use complex motor routines to find and extract floral rewards. Studies of pollinators foraging for nectar rewards indicate these routines are typically learned, and that constraints associated with learning and memory give pollinators incentive to continue foraging on these flowers.

Intraspecific relationships between floral signals and rewards with implications for plant fitness [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2021 AbstractWithin-species variation in traits such as petal size or colour often provides reliable information to pollinators about the rewards offered to them by flowers. In spite of potential disadvantages of allowing pollinators to discriminate against less-rewarding flowers, examples of informative floral signals are diverse in form and widely ...

Association Between Floral Traits and Rewards in Erysimum mediohispanicum (Brassicaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2008 Floral rewards may be associated with certain morphological floral traits and thus act as underlying factors promoting selection on these traits. This study investigates whether some traits that are under pollinator-mediated selection (flower number, stalk height, corolla diameter, corolla tube length and corolla tube width) in the Mediterranean herb E.

Floral humidity and other indicators of energy rewards in pollination biology
Communicative and Integrative Biology, 2013 Floral traits that correlate with nectar availability or are linked functionally to nectar production carry the potential to enable remote assessment of energy rewards by pollinators. Such floral traits can be considered "honest" in the sense that they convey information about the quality or profitability of a flower to a pollinator.

Floral Biology and Floral Rewards of Lysimachia (Primulaceae)
American Midland Naturalist, 1983Field and chemical studies have shown that female bees of the genus Macropis (Melittidae) visit flowers of Lysimachia (Primulaceae) in the New World in order to collect liquids secreted by trichome elaiophores at the bases of the petals and/or anther filaments. The association between the genera is not obligatory on the part of the plants.

Floral rewards and pollination in Cytiseae (Fabaceae)
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2003Cytiseae have been reported to be mostly nectar-lacking, yet some taxa secrete nectar from extrastaminal nectaries. We studied the pollination biology of four shrubby species of Cytiseae (Cytisophyllum sessilifolium (L.) Lang, Spartium junceum L., Genista radiata (L.) Scop., Genista cilentina Valsecchi) which differ for ecology, distribution and ...
