Quantifying nectar production by flowering plants in urban and rural landscapes
Journal of Ecology, 2021 Floral resources (nectar and pollen) provide food for insect pollinators but have declined in the countryside due to land use change. Given widespread pollinator loss, it is important that we quantify their food supply to help develop conservation ...

Apidologie, 2021 We examined the residues of 13 elements in soil, plant parts, nectar, bee heads, thorax, and abdomens, feces from bee guts, and bee products sampled from two Polish cities (Lublin and Poznań).

Variation in nectar quality across 34 grassland plant species.
Plant biology, 2021 Floral nectar is considered the most important floral reward for attracting pollinators. It contains large amounts of carbohydrates besides variable concentrations of amino acids and thus represents an important food source for many pollinators.

Zinc supplementation modifies brain tissue transcriptome of Apis mellifera honeybees
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Bees are the most important group of pollinators worldwide and their populations are declining. In natural conditions, Apis mellifera depends exclusively on food from the field to meet its physiological demands.

The role of plant–pollinator interactions in structuring nectar microbial communities
Journal of Ecology, 2021 Floral nectar harbours a diverse microbiome of yeasts and bacteria that depend predominantly on animal visitors for their dispersal. Since pollinators visit specific sets of flowers and carry their own unique microbiota, we hypothesize that plant species

Ecology, 2016 AbstractSecondary metabolites that are present in floral nectar have been hypothesized to enhance specificity in plant–pollinator mutualism by reducing larceny by non‐pollinators, including microorganisms that colonize nectar. However, few studies have tested this hypothesis.

Biology, 2022 Nectar-robbing insects, which are frequently described as cheaters in plant–pollinator mutualisms, may affect plant reproductive fitness by obtaining nectar rewards without providing pollination services.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Nectar robbing can affect plant reproductive success directly by influencing female and male fitness, and indirectly by affecting pollinator behavior. Flowers have morphological and chemical features that may protect them from nectar robbers.

Influence of microclimatic conditions on nectar exudation in Glechoma hirsuta W. K [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2005 The nectar production of Glechoma hirsuta W. K. grown under different microclimatic habitat conditions was evaluated by determining the total daily nectar quantity per flower, diurnal dynamics of nectar secretion, the nectar secretion rate, and sugar ...
