Nectar Robbing: Ecological and Evolutionary Perspectives

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2010
Not all floral visitors attracted to flowers are pollinators. Instead, some visitors circumvent the floral opening, usually removing nectar without contacting the anthers and/or stigma. Here we review the evolutionary ecology of nectar robbing from both the plant and animal perspective.

Nectar robbing in Ipomopsis aggregata  : effects on pollinator behavior and plant fitness

Oecologia, 1998
Hummingbirds foraging in alpine meadows of central Colorado, United States, face a heterogeneous distribution of nectar rewards. This study investigated how variability in nectar resources caused by nectar-robbing bumblebees affected the foraging behavior of hummingbird pollinators and, subsequently, the reproductive success of a host plant (Ipomopsis ...

Nectar robbing: a common phenomenon mainly determined by accessibility constraints, nectar volume and density of energy rewards

Oikos, 2016
Nectar robbers use a hole made in the perianth to extract nectar. Since robbers may modify plant fitness, they play an important role by driving evolution on floral traits, shaping population structure and influencing community dynamics. Although nectar robbing is widespread in angiosperms, the causes and ecological implications of this behaviour on ...

CONSEQUENCES OF NECTAR ROBBING FOR REALIZED MALE FUNCTION IN A HUMMINGBIRD-POLLINATED PLANT

Ecology, 2000
The effects of nectar robbers on plants and their mutualistic pollinators are poorly understood due, in part, to the paucity of studies examining male reproductive success in nectar-robbed plants. Here we measured the effects of a nectar-robbing bumblebee, Bombus occidentalis, on realized male reproductive success (seeds sired) in a hummingbird ...
