Generalist Flowers and Generalist Visitors
2011This chapter focuses on generalist flowers and generalist visitors. There are regular flower visitors that spend some part of most of their adult lives feeding in flowers, and they can be seen as a generalist flower visitor cohort, constituting a predictable part of the visitor spectrum of some kinds of flowers.

Flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental (Indomalayan) Region
Biological Reviews, 2004ABSTRACTCurrent knowledge of flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental Region is summarised. Much less is known about pollination than seed dispersal and the coverage of habitats and taxa in the region is very uneven. The available evidence suggests that pollination in lowland forests is dominated by highly social bees (mainly Trigona and Apis ...

Nectar resource diversity organises flower‐visitor community structure
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2004AbstractCommunities of nectar‐producing plants show high spatio‐temporal variation in the patterns of volume and concentration presentation. We illustrate a novel approach for quantifying nectar reward structures in complex communities, demonstrating that nectar resource diversity (defined as the variety of nectar volume–concentration combinations ...

Rush hours in flower visitors over a day–night cycle
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2017Abstract Most research on pollination has focussed on a subset of insect taxa within a narrow time window during daylight hours. As a consequence, we have a limited understanding of the diversity and activity of flower visitors during the night or belonging to taxa ...

Shorter flowering seasons and declining abundance of flower visitors in a warmer Arctic
Nature Climate Change, 2013Climate-induced changes in phenology have the potential to push trophic relationships out of synchrony, but evidence of this phenomenon is scant, particularly in the Arctic. A long-term (1996–2009), spatially replicated data set from high-Arctic Greenland now indicates a climate-associated shortening of the flowering season, and a concomitant decline ...

Cheating by Flowers: Cheating the Visitors and Cheating Other Flowers
2011This chapter examines how flowers cheat visitors and other flowers. Pollination is not an altruistic exercise; there is a conflict of needs that makes both plants and pollinators liable to cheat to their own benefit. Deception is very common in pollination biology.

Saltatorial Orthoptera as Common Visitors to Tropical Flowers
Biotropica, 1974In wet tropical regions of Peru and the Panama Canal Zone, saltatorial Orthoptera were found to visit flowers of certain species of Commelinaceae, Compositae, Gramineae, and Euphorbiaceae. Tettigoniids, especially Coinocephalus, were the commonest visitors, though representatives of Tridactylidae, Gryllidae, and Acrididae were also seen on the flowers.
