Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here

Nectar-Secreting and Nectarless Epidendrum: Structure of the Inner Floral Spur [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Epidendrum, the largest genus of Neotropical orchids, contains both nectar-secreting and nectarless species. Here, we compare the fine structure of the inner floral spur, termed the cuniculus, in nectariferous (E. difforme, E. nocturnum,E. porpax, E. rigidum, E. vesicatum) and seemingly nectarless (E. capricornu, E. ciliare, E.
