The ornithophily of Impatiens sakeriana does not guarantee a preference by sunbirds

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022
Abstract In recent decades, the tight mutual specialization between nectarivorous birds and ornithophilous plants has been questioned, and instead, high degrees of generalization and interaction asymmetry have been highlighted. Here, we studied interactions among two sunbirds and four plant species in two Mount Cameroon forests, with two

Evolution of Funnel-Revolver Flowers and Ornithophily in Nasa (Loasaceae)

Plant Biology, 2006
Floral morphology, distribution, and flower visitors for 60 taxa of Nasa are investigated and compared to molecular trees inferred both from a combined marker analysis (ITS1 and trnL (UAA)) and from a single marker (ITS1). Flowers conform to two different floral types: Firstly, "tilt-revolver flowers", with spreading to reflexed, white to yellow petals

Bird pollination syndrome is the plant's adaptation to ornithophily, but nectarivorous birds are not so selective

Oikos, 2021
Many tropical plants are pollinated by birds and several bird phylogenetical lineages have specialised to a nectar diet. The long‐assumed, intimate ecological and evolutionary relationship between ornithophilous plants and phenotypically specialised nectarivorous birds has nevertheless been questioned in recent decades, where such plant–pollinator ...

A Remarkable Case of Ornithophily in Calceolaria: Food Bodies as Rewards for a Non‐nectarivorous Bird*

Botanica Acta, 1996
Abstract:In southernmost South America, the pollination biology of Calceolaria uniflora Lam. (Scrophulariaceae) was studied in the field. One of the most striking features of the flower of this species is a corolla appendage folded against the outside of the lower lip.

NECTAR PROBING IN Erythrina subumbrans (Hassk.) MERR IN BHAGAMANDALA, KODAGU DISTRICT, KARNATAKA- A CASE OF ORNITHOPHILY

2021
Nectar probing in Erythrina subumbrans (Hassk.) Merr (Fam. Fabaceae) by Dicrurus paradiseus and D. leucophaeus (Fam. Dicruridae) is discussed in this article. It is a first-time report from the region, geographically among the four biodiversity hotspots of India and further studies could increase the magnitude of bird pollinators of E ...
