Evolutionary ecology of nectar [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2018 Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant-pollinator interactions and an integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated selection. However, compared to floral display traits, we know little about the evolutionary ecology of nectar.

Project Selection and Transparency Factors in Housing Public-Private Partnerships in Nigeria
Construction Economics and Building, 2018 The application of Public-Private Partners (PPPs) in housing provisioning is on the increase across the world. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies on the specific factors considered at the initiation, and measures taken to ensure ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Floral nectar contains mainly sugars as well as smaller amounts of amino acids and further compounds. The nectar composition varies between different plant species and it is related to the pollination type of the plant. In addition to this, other factors

Comparison of sugars, iridoid glycosides and amino acids in nectar and phloem sap of Maurandya barclayana, Lophospermum erubescens, and Brassica napus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Floral nectar contains sugars and amino acids to attract pollinators. In addition, nectar also contains different secondary compounds, but little is understood about their origin or function. Does nectar composition reflect phloem composition,

Floral nectar guide patterns discourage nectar robbing by bumble bees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Floral displays are under selection to both attract pollinators and deter antagonists. Here we show that a common floral trait, a nectar guide pattern, alters the behavior of bees that can act opportunistically as both pollinators and as antagonists ...

Floral Nectar Chemistry in Orchids: A Short Review and Meta-Analysis
Plants, 2021 Nectar is one of the most important flower traits, shaping plant–pollinator interactions and reproductive success. Despite Orchidaceae including numerous nectariferous species, nectar chemistry in this family has been infrequently studied. Therefore, the

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2006 Intensity of bee visitation (honeybees and wild bees), foraging behaviour of honeybees and nectar parameters (nectar production, sugar concentration, sugar content in nectars) were inspected at 18 apple cultivars for three consecutive years.

Nature, 1922 THE device of Mirafra Assamica to reach the nectar in the flowers of Castanospermum (noted in NATURE of April 15, p. 489) has its parallel among British birds. The blooms of several Asiatic species of rhododendron contain much honey, and many of these are defaced at this season by the great tit (Parus major), the blue tit (P.

Patterns of Nectar Production in Asclepias curassavica (Apocynaceae))
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2019 Milkweeds are important nectar resources for insects in the New World. In addition, nectar is the germination medium for milkweed pollen. This study is the first controlled, greenhouse examination of patterns of nectar production in a milkweed species ...
