Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

The position and structure of the nectary in spring heath (Erica carnea L.) flowers
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Ecological traits of Erica carnea L. flowers and the morphology of floral nectaries were investigated using stereoscopic, light and scanning electron microscopy. The nectary in the flowers of Erica carnea is located in the basal part of the ovary.

Mutualism and Antagonism in a Post‐Extinction Hawaiian Bird–Lobelioid Pollination System
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Species loss can restructure plant–pollinator interactions, but the functional consequences of altered interactions remain unclear. Using camera observations and experimental manipulations in Hawaiian lobelioids, we show that nectarivorous birds differ in whether visits result in pollen contact or nectar robbing, with robbing altering nectar dynamics ...

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.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.In this study, the total protein content and 10‐hydroxy‐2‐decenoic acid content were determined in royal jelly collected at the 72 and 144 h. In vitro bioaccessibility, antibacterial, and antidiabetic properties of royal jelly collected at the 72 and 144 h were also determined. ABSTRACT Royal jelly has received interest as a functional food.

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries
Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

Nectar secretion and pollen production in protandrous flowers of Campanula patula L. (Campanulaceae)
, 2018 Nectar secretion was noted both in the male and female floral phases of the protandrous flowers of Campanula patula (Campanulaceae). Female-biased sugar accumulation was evidenced and plasticity in the duration of sexual phases observed.
