Oikos, EarlyView.An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself,

Oikos, EarlyView.To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Energy and water balance in the lesser double-collared sunbird, Nectarinia chalybea [PDF]
, 1999 Bibliography: leaves 164-172.Nectarivores feed on aqueous sugar solutions, and their water balance is tightly linked to their energy balance. When nectar is dilute and energy demands are high, consumption of a large excess of preformed water is ...

Demonstrating limitations of area‐restricted search as a foraging mechanism
Oikos, EarlyView.Foragers often rely on simple behavioral rules that translate local environmental cues into movement decisions. One of the most widespread rules is area‐restricted search (ARS), in which movement becomes less directional following resource encounters. ARS is generally considered effective for exploiting clustered resources, yet recent conceptual work ...

Nectar Abundance and Nectar Composition in Selected Rubus idaeus L. Varieties
, 2022 The increasing commercial production of R. idaeus offers insects nectar and pollen rewards, thus increasing the chance of cross-pollination, which enhances fruit yields.
