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.

Oikos, EarlyView.The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Botanical Sciences, 2013 El néctar de flores polinizadas por colibríes es usualmente robado por animales no polinizadores, por ello se esperaría que plantas sometidas al robo de néctar presenten distintas estrategias que permitan mitigar los costos asociados.

Oikos, EarlyView.Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

I've been robbed! - Can changes in floral traits discourage bee pollination?
PLoS ONE, 2019 Some floral visitors collect nectar by piercing flower external whorls, acting as nectar robbers. They leave robbery vestiges, which can cause changes in floral characteristics, including physical and chemical signals that may influence flower ...

Factors affecting nectar sugar composition in chiropterophilic plants
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016 Most pollinators prefer the sugars present in the nectar they consume, so it has been hypothesized that they have molded nectar trait evolution. However, nectar-feeding bats do not exhibit preferences for the sugars present in their diet. We analyzed the

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 Nectaries of investigated species of Vicia were ranked into 3 morphological types: automorphic (V. sepium L.), transitoric (V. angustifolia L., V. sativa L., V. villosa Roth, V. cracca L.) and flat, epimorphic (V. hirsuta (L.) S. F.
