Phenology of farmland floral resources reveals seasonal gaps in nectar availability for bumblebees
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2019 1.Floral resources are known to be important in regulating wild pollinator populations and are therefore an important component of agri‐environment and restoration schemes which aim to support pollinators and their associated services.

Food for Pollinators: Quantifying the Nectar and Pollen Resources of Urban Flower Meadows
PLoS ONE, 2016 Planted meadows are increasingly used to improve the biodiversity and aesthetic amenity value of urban areas. Although many ‘pollinator-friendly’ seed mixes are available, the floral resources these provide to flower-visiting insects, and how these ...

Nectar in Plant–Insect Mutualistic Relationships: From Food Reward to Partner Manipulation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 It has been known for centuries that floral and extra-floral nectar secreted by plants attracts and rewards animals. Extra-floral nectar is involved in so-called indirect defense by attracting animals (generally ants) that prey on herbivores, or by ...
