The location of nectaries and nectar secretion in the flowers of Allium giganteum Regel
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 In the flowers of Allium there are found septal nectaries; in particular species, their outlet can be located in different parts of the ovary. The inflorescences of these plants are a rich source of nectar for insects.

Defense mutualisms enhance plant diversification [PDF]
, 2014 The ability of plants to form mutualistic relationships with animal defenders has long been suspected to influence their evolutionary success, both by decreasing extinction risk and by increasing opportunity for speciation through an expanded realized ...

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Gentianella calcis subsp. waipara Glenny & Molloy (Gentianaceae) is endemic to limestone formations in North Canterbury, New Zealand. A previous conservation genetics study of G. calcis Glenny & Molloy and another eastern South Island limestone endemic species, G. astonii (Petrie) T.N.Ho & S.W.Liu, showed that G. calcis subsp.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

The Octadecanoid Pathway, but Not COI1, Is Required for Nectar Secretion in Arabidopsis thaliana
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Over 75% of crop species produce nectar and are dependent on pollinators to achieve maximum seed set, yet little is known about the mechanisms regulating nectar secretion.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Consumer–resource interactions can shift from exploitative to mutualistic when reciprocal benefits such as nutrient exchange offset the costs of damage or mortality, though these benefits are often difficult to detect. Carnivorous pitcher plants are typically viewed as exploiters of arthropod prey, yet most visitors escape capture and may gain
