The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]
, 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. Using published and

Pollinator-syndrome driven changes in the mating systems of two Cape legume species [PDF]
, 2013 The challenge in answering the question of whether or not plants evolve different mating systems to accommodate their respective pollinators lies in finding a pair of closely related species differing only in pollination syndromes.

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Zoophily and nectar-robbing by sunbirds in Gardenia latifolia Ait. (Rubiaceae)
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2022 Gardenia latifolia is a semi-deciduous tree species which blooms during the dry season. Its flowers are hermaphroditic, strongly fragrant, nectariferous, and specialized with a narrow corolla tube and concealed deep seated nectar. Thrips act as resident pollinators while bats and carpenter bees act as non-resident pollinators.
