Nectar chemistry modulates the impact of an invasive plant on native pollinators [PDF]

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, 2016
1. Invasive species are considered a main driver of pollinator declines, yet the direct effects of invasive alien plants on pollinators are poorly understood. 2.

Impact of microbial communities on floral nectar chemistry: Potential implications for biological control of pest insects

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology, 2016
© 2015 Gesellschaft für Ökologie. Nectar-producing plants are increasingly used in agroecosystems to provide biological control agents (BCAs) such as predatory insects and parasitoids with necessary sugars to fulfil their nutritional requirements ...

A neonicotinoid pesticide alters how nectar chemistry affects bees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, 2022
Abstract Neonicotinoid pesticides in the nectar and pollen of managed crops and wildflowers contribute to the global declines of bees. These chemicals can have detrimental effects on bees' physiology, behaviour and reproduction. Floral nectar also contains secondary chemistry with its own effects on bee health.

Herbivory, plant traits and nectar chemistry interact to affect the community of insect visitors and pollination in common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca

Oecologia, 2022
Herbivory can alter plant fitness directly through changing reproductive allocation and indirectly through changing pollinator identity or behavior. Common milkweed is a plant of conservation concern with an inducible chemical defense that is also an important nectar resource. In this study, we aim to understand how herbivory severity and plant traits,

Influence of Filamentous Fungi on Nectar Chemistry and Cascading Effects for the Longevity of the Insect Parasitoids Trissolcus basalis and Ooencyrtus telenomicida

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Ecology
Flowering plants serve as a valuable source of nectar, which supports the survival and reproductive success of flower-associated insects, including adult parasitoids. Fermentation by nectar-inhabiting microbes can alter nectar chemistry, which in turn, could affect the performance of nectar-feeding parasitoids. Although there is growing evidence on how

Dihydroxyacetone in the Floral Nectar of Ericomyrtus serpyllifolia (Turcz.) Rye (Myrtaceae) and Verticordia chrysantha Endl. (Myrtaceae) Demonstrates That This Precursor to Bioactive Honey Is Not Restricted to the Genus Leptospermum (Myrtaceae).

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023
Ma̅nuka honey is known for its strong bioactivity, which arises from the autocatalytic conversion of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (dihydroxyacetone, DHA) in the floral nectar of Leptospermum scoparium (Myrtaceae) to the non-peroxide antibacterial compound ...
