Dracula’s mistress: removal of blood-red floral nectar results in secretion of more nectar
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. The purposes of this study were to determine whether simulated pollinator visits (manual removal of nectar) stimulates replenishment of nectar, and report the pattern of nectar presentation ...

Nectar secretion dynamics of Hungarian local pear cultivars [PDF]
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2003 The dynamics of daily nectar secretion was studied in 28 local pear cultivars in a Hungarian cultivar collection and three main types were distinguished. 1. Cultivars secreting nectar continuously are the most favourable for pollinators, rewarding them both with nectar and pollen. 2.
