Determination of the effect of electric fence system on productivity and behaviour of honeybees housed in different beehive types (Apis mellifera L.)

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study was conducted in 2018 in order to determine the effects of an electric fence system on honeybee colonies housed in hives made from different materials. The experiment was carried out with honeybee colonies of 36 Caucasian races (Apis mellifera

Simulated Nectar Robbing Does Not Affect Pollinator-Mediated Selection on Floral Traits of Impatiens capensis

open access: yes, 2019
© 2019 International Journal of Plant SciencesPremise of research. Floral traits are thought to evolve primarily in response to pollinators, but other environmental factors can also affect selection on these traits.

Flower-visiting lizards as key ecological actors for an endemic and critically endangered plant in the Canary Islands

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology
Oceanic islands are places where biological assemblages are relatively simple, as compared to the mainland. On islands, however, pollinator assemblages may to be composed of a taxonomically disparate group of organisms (e.g. insects, lizards, and birds),

The effects of nectar-robbing on fruit production in Sparattosperma leucanthum (Bignoniaceae)

open access: yes, 2022
Many animals behave as robbers or thieves of floral resources, causing damage to floral tissues or consuming resources used to attract pollinators, or producing effects similar to emasculation by reducing the pollen load in the anthers (which generally results in losses in terms of sexual reproduction). The present work examined the direct and indirect

The ecology of pollination and nectar robbing in Linaria vulgaris in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

open access: yes, 2004
Cheaters affect most mutualisms, but their effects remain misunderstood. This thesis investigates aspects of plant-nectar robber interactions in Linaria vulgaris. Nectar robbing reduced pollinator visitation and nectar standing crop.

Tabebuia lepidota: effect of nectar robbing by hummingbirds and bumblebees

open access: yes, 2020
El robo de néctar ocurre cuando algunos visitantes florales perforan la corola de las flores para tomar el néctar. Tiene efecto positivo cuando facilita la reproducción de la especie robada, negativo cuando la impide, y neutro cuando no influye en ella ...

The effects of nectar-robbing on a plant-pollinator mutualism and the evolution of nectar-robbing and sociality in bees

open access: yes, 2001
How will the intrusion of other species that remove rewards without providing reciprocal services affect the interaction between mutualists? How do costs and benefits from these "cheaters" compare to costs and benefits from potentially mutualistic ...

Effects of nectar robbing on pollen deposition and hummingbird-pollinator behavior in Scarlet Gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata

open access: yes, 2010
v, 36 p.Nectar robbing can negatively affect plant reproductive fitness. To better understand this phenomenon, I studied its effects on pollen deposition and hummingbird behavior in the hummingbird-pollinated Scarlet Gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata).

Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised species.
