Primary Nectar Robbing in Mertensia oblongifolia, a Case Study

, 1982
The primary nectar robbing of Mertensia oblongifolia (Nutt.) G. Don, a long-tubed bee-pollinated borage was investigated. The primary robbers, short-tongued Bombus occidentalis Cresson queens, removed nectar through a hole made in the corolla.

The Effects of Nectar-Robbing on Fruit Production in Sparattosperma leucanthum (Bignoniaceae)

, 2011
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 ...

Fit or Unlit: Using Quantum Dots to Investigate the Effects of a Floral Yeast and Nectar Robbing on Male Fitness in Ipomopsis aggregata

The interaction network between pollinators, plants, and the microbes that inhabit them is not yet widely understood. Most studies of floral microbes have focused on the role of nectar yeasts (e.g., Metschnikowia reukaufii) in the behavior of bumble bee ...
