Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...

Nectary development in Cleome violacea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Nectaries are a promising frontier for plant evo-devo research, and are particularly fascinating given their diversity in form, position, and secretion methods across angiosperms.

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 ...
