Bumblebees are the most efficient pollinators of raspberry and strawberry in urban environments
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We evaluated single‐visit pollination efficiency, on strawberry and raspberry plants, in urban and suburban sites. Bumblebees were overall the most efficient pollinator. For strawberry, bumblebees had equivalent efficiency to honeybees, while for raspberry, bumblebees were more efficient than honeybees.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study compares the reproductive strategies of two self‐incompatible orchids, Pholidota articulata (mass‐flowering) and Coelogyne prolifera (steady‐state flowering). Despite differences in pollinator visitation and pollinia transfer efficiency—higher in P. articulata—both species achieved similar natural fruit set rates over 3 years.

Mechanical defenses of plant extrafloral nectaries against herbivory
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Extrafloral nectaries play an important role in plant defense against herbivores by providing nectar rewards that attract ants and other carnivorous insects.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016 Nectar robbery is common in flowering plants with tubular corollas and can affect plant reproductive success. Our study characterized the interaction between potential pollinators and nectar robbers, and assessed the effects on flower abortion in a ...

The potential for indirect effects between co-flowering plants via shared pollinators depends on resource abundance, accessibility and relatedness [PDF]
, 2014 Co-flowering plant species commonly share flower visitors, and thus have the potential to influence each other's pollination. In this study we analysed 750 quantitative plant–pollinator networks from 28 studies representing diverse biomes worldwide.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.Nectar is a highly variable, mostly unpredictable resource in tropical mountains. How do nectarivorous birds such as this male Great Sapphirewing cope? Fine‐scaled tracking of hummingbirds and flowerpiercers shows flexibility in daily movement strategies in the high Andes, possibly in response to fluctuating local conditions such as weather and ...

Consequences of toxic secondary compounds in nectar for mutualist bees and antagonist butterflies [PDF]
, 2016 Attraction of mutualists and defense against antagonists are critical challenges for most organisms and can be especially acute for plants with pollinating and non?pollinating flower visitors.

Evolution of UV reflection in bee‐ and bird‐pollinated flowers
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 201-214, January 2026.Pollinators shape floral UV reflection across angiosperms, supporting the bee‐avoidance hypothesis in red flowers and revealing mixed patterns in white and yellow flowers. Abstract Floral colour is a key trait mediating plant–pollinator interactions, with UV reflection hypothesized to evolve in response to the effectiveness of pollinators.
