Node-Centric Detection of Overlapping Communities in Social Networks
, 2016 We present NECTAR, a community detection algorithm that generalizes Louvain method's local search heuristic for overlapping community structures. NECTAR chooses dynamically which objective function to optimize based on the network on which it is invoked.

Nectar—but not for parasites [PDF]
Science, 2019 Pollination Bumble bees are vulnerable to parasitism by a flagellated trypanosome (some species of which are important human pathogens). The parasite Crithidia bombi , in combination with environmental stresses, can promote declines in bumble bee populations by reducing foraging and reproductive success. Koch et al. developed a chromatographic pipeline

Nectar Uptake of a Long-Proboscid Prosoeca Fly (Nemestrinidae)—Proboscis Morphology and Flower Shape
Insects, 2021 Several Prosoeca (Nemestinidae) species use a greatly elongated proboscis to drink nectar from long-tubed flowers. We studied morphological adaptations for nectar uptake of Prosoecamarinusi that were endemic to the Northern Cape of South Africa.

Nectar yeasts in Delphinium nuttallianum (Ranunculaceae) and their effects on nectar quality [PDF]
Fungal Ecology, 2015 Abstract Microorganisms colonize the nectar of many angiosperms. Variable diversity and spatio-temporal dynamics of nectar-inhabiting microorganisms (e.g., yeasts) may drive variation in nectar sugar composition and subsequent plant–pollinator interactions.
