Water availability shapes temporal patterns of extrafloral nectar secretion and ant visitation to a Neotropical legume. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Mutualistic plants use non‐structural sugar (NSC) to produce carbon‐based resources to reward partners. Then, any factor compromising NSC plant supplies should increase the relative costs of these rewards for plants.

Reproductive biology and nectar secretion dynamics of Penstemon gentianoides (Plantaginaceae): a perennial herb with a mixed pollination system? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background In many plant species, pollination syndromes predict the most effective pollinator. However, other floral visitors may also offer effective pollination services and promote mixed pollination systems.

Nectar secretion in the flowers of comfrey (Symphytum officinale L.) and nectar chemistry
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 Nectar secretion and nectar chemistry in the flowers of comfrey (Symphytum officinale L.) were examined in the four stages of anthesis: large buds, before pollen exposure: II - freshy opened flowers with the beginning of anther dehiscence: III ...

Dracula’s mistress: removal of blood-red floral nectar results in secretion of more nectar [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – Flowers of Jaltomata quipuscoae (Solanaceae) secrete blood-red nectar that serves as an energy reward and possible attractant to pollinators.

Climate change reduces nectar secretion in two common Mediterranean plants. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2015 The negative effect of climate change on plants and plant–pollinator interactions is a matter of concern worldwide. The Mediterranean region is considered particularly susceptible to climate warming and the communities of this region will need to face ...

Comparative floral spur anatomy and nectar secretion in four representatives of Ranunculaceae. [PDF]
Protoplasma, 2015 Nectaries are common in Ranunculaceae. These secretory structures, however, have not been studied in detail despite their importance in plant-animal interactions, and data relating to the structure of nectary spurs, which are so characteristic of several
